Engineering is a field that uses science and math to design, build, and test machines, structures, and processes to solve problems and improve the world. Engineers are problem solvers, organizers, communicators, and designers who work to create a better, safer, and more efficient world. 

Here are some things that engineers do: 

• DesignEngineers design how the world works, from buildings and bridges to vehicles and computers. 
• Solve problemsEngineers use their skills and creative thinking to solve complex challenges, such as climate change, clean water, and cybersecurity. 
• Improve systemsEngineers use engineering design processes to increase efficiency and productivity. 
• Work in many subfieldsThere are many subfields of engineering, including chemical, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering. 

The word “engineering” comes from the Latin word ingenium, which means “cleverness”.
