What exactly is engineering?
Engineering is the complete and practical technical solution to a perceived problem or want. An example: I want something to tow or carry me to the top of the ski slope so that I can ski down without having to walk back each time. It’s a mechanical and an electrical solution that’s called for (Although, you could use a team of horses to provide power). A system that can be built within reasonable economic limits and with sufficient safety and utility (It does the job and is pretty robust — it doesn’t break.) is designed, along with the choice of an electrical motor with pulleys, etc. to provide the power necessary to do the job. Controls for the motor, structural support for everything, and a supply of electricity must be included. Regulatory requirements must be met. It might be a chemical engineering solution that’s called for: I have this natural oil and I want gasoline to power my car. A cracking plant is designed with sufficient capacity to handle the available oil supply, all of
