who is a engineer?

                   An engineer is a professional practitioner of the art, concerned with the application of scientific knowledge, mathematics and ingenuity to develop solutions to technical problems. Engineers design materials, imposing structures, machinery and equipment are within the limits of functionality, safety and cost. The word engineering derives from the Latin root ingenium, meaning "wisdom".
Engineers are based in applied sciences and of scientists engaged in research and artists who create excellent with a focus on aesthetics.  The work of engineers is the link between scientific discoveries and applications that meet society's needs. 

         Engineers develop new technical solutions. During the planning process, the performance responsibility of the engineer include defining problems, conducting, and narrowing of the research, analysis criteria, findings and analysis solutions and decisions. Much of the engineer's time is spent on researching, tracking, application and transfer of information.

    Engineers must weigh different design choices on their merits and choose the solution best meets the requirements. Their critical and unique responsibility is to understand, identify and interpret the constraints on a design to achieve a successful outcome.
     Engineers apply engineering analysis techniques in the examination, production or maintenance.Analytical engineers can monitor the production in factories and elsewhere, determine the cause of a process failure, and test output to maintain quality. They also appreciate the time and cost required to complete projects. 


      Supervisory engineers are responsible for major components or entire projects. Engineering analysis involves the application of scientific principles and analytical processes, the properties and state of the system, a device or system under study shows. Engineering analysis is the separation of planning services in the mechanisms of the operation or failure, analysis, or estimate each component of the operation or failure mechanism in isolation, and again the combination of the components. You can analyze risk. .
          Many engineers use computers to produce and analyze designs, simulate and test how a machine, structure, or runs to generate specifications for parts to monitor the quality of products and control the efficiency of processes.Specialization
Most engineers specialize.  Numerous specialties are recognized by professional societies, and each of the major branches of engineering has numerous subdivisions. Civil engineering, for example, includes structural and traffic engineering and materials engineering includes ceramic, metallurgical, and polymer engineering. Engineers can specialize in one industry, such as cars or in a kind of technology, such as turbines or semiconductor materials.

       Engineers have obligations to the public and their customers, employers and the profession. Many technical societies have codes of conduct and codes of conduct for members and established inform the general public. Each technical discipline and professional society maintains a code of ethics that require members to defend themselves. Depending on their specializations, engineers can be regulated, whistle blowing, product liability law by specific statute, and often the principles of business ethics.
          Some graduates of engineering programs in North America may be recognized by the iron ring or Engineer's Ring, a ring of iron or steel, which is worn on the little finger of the dominant hand. This tradition began in 1925 in Canada with the ritual of the calling of an engineer, where the ring is a symbol and reminder of the engineering commitment for the engineering profession. In 1972, the practice of several colleges in the United States, including members of the Order was adopted by the engineer.
           Most engineering programs involve a concentration of study in an engineering specialty, along with courses in mathematics and the physical and life sciences. Many programs and courses in mechanical engineering. A design course, sometimes from a computer or laboratory class or both, accompanied, is part of the curriculum of most programs. Often general courses not directly related to technology, as in the social sciences or humanities, you are needed.
