2. APTITUDE
Definition
Acquired or natural ability (usually measurable
with aptitude tests), for learning and proficiency
in a specific area or discipline. Aptitude is
expressed in interest, and is reflected in current
performance which is expected to improve over
time with training.

3. ATTITUDE
Definition
A predisposition or a tendency to respond positively or
negatively towards a certain idea, object, person, or
situation. Attitude influences an individual's choice of
action, and responses to challenges, incentives, and
rewards (together called stimuli).
Four major components of attitude are
(1)Affective: emotions or feelings.
(2) Cognitive: belief or opinions held consciously.
(3) Conative: inclination for action.
(4) Evaluative: positive or negative response to stimuli.

4. Who is an engineer?
• Engineers are people who solve problems and
focus on making things work more efficiently
and effectively.
• Engineers apply the theories and principles of
science and mathematics to research and
develop economical solutions to technical
problems.
• Their work is the link between perceived social
needs and commercial applications.
