ENGINEER
WHAT IS ENGINEERING?
Engineering is art of Science which should be applied for the sake and
convenience of Humanity.
- Thomas Tredgold
Simple
Meaning
The word engineer (Latin ingeniator) is derived from the Latin words ingeniare ("to
contrive, devise") and ingenium ("cleverness")

3. WHAT THEN IS ENGINEERING?
• The central focus of the Engineering
profession is the application of
scientific knowledge to meet societal
needs.
• Engineering connects pure science
to society.
• Engineering therefore has a social
responsibility.

4. • India is estimated to beat China
by 2027 in population terms.
• However, majority of Indian population
is still in rural areas.
• To meet the challenges of increasing
population, use of technology is must.
Challenges ahead…

5. India stands 2nd after China for STEM graduates, reflecting the opportunity for India to
lead the world in technology in coming decades.

6. • The 21st century is defined by some of the huge
challenges now facing humanity.
• These are energy and food security, competition and
scarcity of natural resources, and climate change.
• The demand for engineering skills is likely to be higher
than ever before in order to deliver sustainable
engineering systems, low-carbon energy technologies,
and robust physical infrastructure to protect against
geophysical hazards such as sea-level rise and extreme
meteorological events.
ENGINEERING IS NOT A
STATIONARY PROFESSION....
