What Is Engineering

T]he creative application of scientific principles to design or develop structures, machines, apparatus, or manufacturing processes, or works utilizing them singly or in combination; or to construct or operate the same with full cognizance of their design; or to forecast their behavior under specific operating conditions; all as respects an intended function, economics of operation and safety to life and property

The concept of engineering has existed since ancient times as humans devised fundamental inventions such as the pulley, lever, and wheel. Each of these inventions is consistent with the modern definition of engineering, exploiting basic mechanical principles to develop useful tools and objects.

Engineers apply the sciences of physics and mathematics to find suitable solutions to problems or to make improvements to the status quo. More than ever, engineers are now required to have knowledge of relevant sciences for their design projects, as a result, they keep on learning new material throughout their career.

If multiple options exist, engineers weigh different design choices on their merits and choose the solution that best matches the requirements. The crucial and unique task of the engineer is to identify, understand, and interpret the constraints on a design in order to produce a successful result. It is usually not enough to build a technically successful product; it must also meet further requirements.

"Engineering is quite different from science. Scientists try to understand nature. Engineers try to make things that do not exist in nature. Engineers stress invention. To embody an invention the engineer must put his idea in concrete terms, and design something that people can use. That something can be a device, a gadget, a material, a method, a computing program, an innovative experiment, a new solution to a problem, or an improvement on what is existing. Since a design has to be concrete, it must have its geometry, dimensions, and characteristic numbers. Almost all engineers working on new designs find that they do not have all the needed information. Most often, they are limited by insufficient scientific knowledge. Thus they study mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and mechanics. Often they have to add to the sciences relevant to their profession. Thus engineering sciences are born

Engineering is behind everything - from mobile phones and make-up to the car you travel in and the shoes on your feet.

Engineering makes up an exciting range of businesses and industries, including construction, transport, cosmetics, medicine, food, fashion and much more.

Engineers work in all kinds of environments, from offices, laboratories and film studios to outdoors and underground. Engineering today is closely linked with technology, and plays a major role in many technological devices and advances – thanks to engineers you might be reading this on your phone for example.

As an engineer you could be designing colour-matching technology to determine the best makeup for different skin tones or working as part of a team to improve the performance of artificial hip joints. The perks of a job in the food industry may include tasting the chocolate prior to production!

There are lots of questions people have about engineering; so to answer some of them we have listed the most frequently asked questions careers advisers face and added a few of our own (based on the questions we receive via this website). Click on the links below to see the answers...

Engineering is practical problem-solving.

Engineers use the knowledge they have in a specific field to make things work and to solve problems. Engineers exist in all walks of life: transport, medicine, entertainment, space exploration, environmental management – you name it, engineers have worked on it.

NEA

ABOUT NEA

Nepal Engineers' Association (NEA) is an independent nonprofit organization of Nepalese engineers. It was established in1962. Today, it represents more than 12000 engineers. Nepal Engineers Association office is located at Pulchowk behind UNDP building. NEA is governed by an executive body of 15 members elected by members of the association. As the democratically elected representative body of the profession, the Executive Council, supported by its various 20 committees decides major policy issues and NEA's overall direction. Members are encouraged to participate in the affairs of the association. Please contact NEA office or its regional centers or chapters for information.

Nepal Engineers' Association (NEA), a non-profit professional organization, was founded by a group of young enthusiastic engineers in 1968 with a noble aim of developing engineering professionals to promote the development process by application of engineering sciences and technologies and at the same time increasing the interaction, goodwill and cooperation among engineers in Nepal and protect their professional rights. Today NEA represents more than 12000 engineers nationwide. NEA during 1968-1989 was successful in establishing this very organization. The organizing of the World Engineering Congress along with first three national conventions were major milestones in this period.


NEA during 1990-1999 was successful in membership drive. Similarly the organizing of the interaction program among the four Ps (Press, Public, Professional and Politician) was a major step achieved by NEA in promoting the profession and in improving the image of its fellow members. NEA was successful in expansion of in-country NEA centers, conversion of existing fives to Regional Centers as well as establishment of an international wings, NEA-Bangkok Center, NEA-Qatar Center, NEA-Japan Center and NEA-Australia Center during the last decade. During the past decade, NEA broadened its activities by expanding its relation with international Engineering societies. NEA became member of World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO) and was successful to establish Federation of Engineering Institute of South and Central Asia (FEISCA). During the past decade, NEA has been successful in construction of its own building at Pulchowk. The finished two floors have been rented out to Nepal Telecommunications Corporation.


The NEA office at Jamal has been shifted to ground floor of NEA building at Pulchowk following demolition of the historic building housing NEA building during December 2001. The engineering community and well wishers donated funds to complete the ground floor and basement of the existing NEA building. The basement has been hired out to Nepal Telecom. The ground floor is fully used by NEA. Rent revenue thus generated now goes directly in paying construction loans. The Jamal office has also been rented out. In the recent past, NEA has successfully promoted the enactment of Nepal Engineering Council Act.

Today NEA has prepared a draft five-year strategy plan, which aims at upgrading current membership to internationally recognized standards. In this connection, a study on strengthening NEA is currently underway with support of Institution of Civil Engineers, UK and DFID.
