Engineering involves the design, building, and use of machines, structures, and systems to solve problems and improve lives. It uses science, technology, and math to create new things. Engineers are creative problem solvers who turn ideas into realities and help shape the future. Engineering is relevant today because it drives innovation and supports the economy. Students gave examples of engineering like designing and building lamps. Engineering was described as working with mechanics, fixing things, and helping with everyday tasks through designed products and infrastructure. Teachers and others saw engineering as creative problem solving that has allowed humanity to travel, store food, and develop new technologies.

3. Engineering is mainly the action of working artfully to
bring something new into our society. It is the branch of
science and technology concerned with the design,
building, and uses of engines, machines, and structures.
What is engineering?

4. Engineers make a world of difference…from new farming equipment and
safer drinking water, to electric cars and faster microchips! Engineers use
their knowledge and think outside the box to improve people’s lives in
meaningful ways.
Engineers are adventurous, imaginative and creative problem solvers.They
never get bored, their always seeking out problems that need solving!They
turn ideas into realities…and help shape the future,
”Your talking about making a difference in so many way: from artificial limbs
to Xbox 360.” In todays world, engineering could not be more relevant as it is
good for our economy.

6. These are some lamps that year 8 students have made in the past couple of weeks.
They have worked really hard and come out with some phenomenal pieces of work.
Here are some of them…
Engineering at HaileyburyTurnford

7. Year 8:
Amber - Engineering is creating, building and modelling different things (buildings,
engines, machines etc.) involving science, maths and technology.
Holly B - Engineering is working with technical issues, solving problems and
being creative.
Yasmine – Engineering is technical, logical and futuristic.
Holly S – Engineers build and design the things around us.
Year9:
Georgia - Working with electronics and buildings/fixing things.
Sophie - People fixing electronic things and everything around us has been
engineered.
Kelsey - When people build and fix cars in car garages.
Shannon - Engineering is this to do with machinery and electronics, to help us get
through everyday life. Everything we look at has been engineered in one way or
another.
What we think of engineering

8. Quotes from people we
know….
What is the first thing that comes
into your head when you hear the
word engineering?
“the first thing that comes into
my head when I hear the word
engineering is anything related
to mechanics or cars.The word
reminds me of people who fix
cars and faults on machines that
aren’t working to their full
potential.”

9. Why is Engineering
useful?
“Because if the world
didn’t have any engineers
nothing would get fixed
when it’s damaged or
faulty.”

10. What does our teacher, Miss
Loughran, think about
Engineering?
“Engineers are creative (and
exceptionally hard working!) people.
They find solutions to all of the
problems we have created as humans.
Engineers have helped us travel, store
and cook food and even made us
better at sports!The world would be a
very different place without
Engineers.”
