DEFINITION OF ENGINEERING/ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY

According to the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET):

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 mankind.

ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY is the part of the technological field that requires the

application of scientific and engineering knowledge and methods combined with technical skills

in support of engineering activities; it lies in the occupational spectrum between the craftsman

and the engineer at the end of the spectrum closest to the engineer.

Design: Converts concepts and information into detailed plans and specifications

that dictate the development and manufacturing of a product or process or system Analysis: Performs mathematical and computer modeling of the problem, based on mathematics, science, and engineering science and using engineering software Test: Develops and conducts tests to verify a selected design, product, process meets all specifications

Development: Involves in the development of product, process, or system, and often acts as intermediary between design and test engineers

Research: Involves in the creation of new knowledge by exploring mathematics, sciences, and engineering sciences to look for new answers or insights that will contribute to the advancement of engineering

Sales: Matches the needs of a customer with the products (products, processes, services) of the company

Management: Manages groups of technical staff (line manager) or the whole unit (group manager)

Consulting: Performs the functions of an engineer/technologist on a contractual basis

Professor: Performs teaching, research, and service at an institution of higher education

Primary Job Functions

Engineering and Technology Fields at WMU

Civil Engineering – Concern with the analysis, design, methods, and materials of large structures such as bridges, highway, water treatment facilities, and traffic and transportation systems. Construction Engineering – Plan, design, and supervise the construction and maintenance of structures and facilities, including project management, estimating, scheduling, business accounting, finance, and public policy.

Mechanical Engineering – Two main stems: Mechanical System such as automobiles, airplanes, washing machines, etc., and Thermal System such as power plants, refrigeration, solar and alternative energies.

Aeronautical Engineering – Concern with design and analysis of airfoils, control system, propulsion (turbine and reciprocating engines) and aircraft system.

Electrical Engineering – Concern with power generation and distribution, consumer electronic goods, and telecommunication goods and networks.

Computer Engineering – Concern with digital computer hardware and software.

Industrial Engineering – Concern with the optimization of resources (human, materials, facilities, and time) in operation of systems.

Manufacturing Engineering – Concern with the design and implementation of manufacturing facilities and processes to optimize productivity.

Chemical Engineering – Concern with industrial chemicals such as solvents, plastics, paints, adhesives, etc., and with food and pharmaceuticals.

Paper Engineering – Concern with papermaking, recycling, non-wood fibers, and coatings. Engineering Graphics & Design Technology – Concern with the use of CAD and CAM to support, implement, and document engineering design and manufacturing.

Manufacturing Engineering Technology – Concern with the application of resources (materials, people, facilities, time) to create efficient production systems and to implement design to produce products.

Engineering Management Technology – Manage, administer and supervise the operation of systems designed by engineers to improve productivity and efficiency.

Computer Science – Study algorithm to describe and transform information using digital computer hardware and software, as well as programming and execution of programs. Imaging – Concern with imaging and printing management, such as inks, coatings, etc.

Industrial Design -- Combine aesthetics with knowledge of manufacturing and materials to create functional and appealing products.
