Definition of Engineering
Engineering is the profession in which a
knowledge of the mathematical and natural
sciences gained by study, experience and
practice is applied with judgment to develop
ways to utilize, economically, the materials
and forces of nature for the benefit of
society.
People Responsible for
Technological Progress
Scientist:
• Searches for new knowledge concerning the
nature of society and the universe. Infrequently
involved in supervisory work.
People Responsible for
Technological Progress
Engineer:
• Translates the findings of
science into usable forms by
his / her designs. Develops
new principles and method
useful to society. Work usually
involves a high degree of
creativity. Frequently
supervises the work of the
engineering and scientific
team.
Scientist vs. Engineer
• Scientists explore
what is.
• Scientist try to
improve their
understanding of
nature.
• Their objective is
knowledge.
• Engineers create what
has never been.
• Engineers apply
knowledge for the
benefit of society.
• Their objective is a
device, structure, or
process.

Definition of Chemical
Engineering
Chemical Engineering is concerned with the
development and application of processes in
which materials are made to undergo a change
in physical state, energy
content, or composition.
Chemical Engineers’
Outstanding Achievements
• Establishment of the
plastics industry.
• Ushered in the synthetic
fibers industry.
• Brought into existence the
synthetic rubber industry.
• More durable and more
cost effective products for
our everyday lives!
