Everything About Engineers And Engineering

Have you ever thought how the highways, bridges, roads, vehicles, airplanes, computers and gazillions of electronic widgets came into existence? Such everyday items that we encounter more than often not were designed and built by engineers. If it were not for engineers you would not have been able to tweet or check the Facebook updates, let alone leading a regular life.

 

The knowledge of engineering helps in improving the world around us. The field of engineering borrows principles from several age-old disciplines such as mathematics and sciences. With application of diverse principles, the concept of engineering has become eligible to solve any type of real world problems. The engineers have the ability to take any type of abstract thought and successfully convert it into reality. The thing that sets apart an engineer from the rest is his/her capacity to implement such ideas into reality using a practical, cost-effective approach.

 

What an engineer does?

 

Primarily, an engineer is a real life problem solver. A person who has studied the every nook and cranny of an engineering discipline can not only become a problem solver, but an organizer, calculators, communicators, designers, to mention but a few. As a problem solver, the engineer is required to define a problem and search for its solution in the most cost-effective manner. A senior engineer does not get involved in hardcore calculations; rather, s/he focuses on workflow management.

 

How engineers from diverse disciplines work together?

Consider an activity of building a tunnel; this is a basic example. For building a tunnel different engineering disciplines – such as Construction, Mechanical, Electrical and Environmental – must work together.

·  A construction engineer will design the entire tunnel area. The engineering experts decide the material to be used (concrete, reinforced, etc.) and design a strategy.

·         Further, for diminishing the total value of vehicle emission from the tunnel, it is beneficial to let mechanical engineers design the ventilation system.

·         Followed by this, it is beneficial to take the help of electrical engineers for fixing adequate lighting in the tunnel.

·         Last, taking the help of environmental engineers is a must while designing a tunnel. These engineers have to check the sustainability of the project and its environmental impact. 

 

Can an engineer work alone?

By and large, the answer to the above question depends on the nature of the project. The engineers can work alone; a chemical engineer can spend a large share of time carrying out experiments in labs alone. However, whenever a civil engineer has to work, s/he will do most of the works in coordination with tradesmen and foremen on the construction site.

Is engineering an interesting field?

Engineering is an interesting field as the candidate has to do challenging tasks. Apart from innovation, the engineering field involves certain unglamorous calculations too. The engineers are supposed to read zillions of technical papers and reports for deriving solution to a problem. A college gets the best Placement in B.Tech Delhi-NCR Region if it has tie-ups with leading engineering companies and trains students on the cutting-edge technology. With the trend of multidisciplinary colleges coming to the fore, a leading M.Pharma College Modingar can become a reliable name in offering engineering degrees too.
