purposes. Engineers use imagination,
judgment, and reasoning to apply science, technology, mathematics, and
practical experience. (Source: Wikipedia) Science
says: Radio waves can be transmitted and received. Engineering
says: Let’s make cell phones! WHAT KINDS OF ENGINEERING ARE THERE? There are
many different types of engineering.
At Laurentian University, you can study to become a mining engineer, a
metallurgical engineer, a mechanical engineer, a chemical engineer or a civil
engineer. Unfortunately, only the
first two options a fully offered. Here is a
partial list of engineering types: Mining Metallurgical Chemical Civil Biological Electrical Aerospace Software Computer Mechanical Agricultural WHAT IS REVERSE ENGINEERING? Engineering
is the application of science. The way
in which science is applied is often quite complex. Some engineers therefore sometimes take
products apart to understand how they were put together. This is known as reverse engineering. |
