Engineering is the use of scientific principles to design and build
machines, structures, and other items, including bridges, tunnels, roads,
vehicles, and buildings. The discipline of engineering encompasses a broad
range of more specialized fields of engineering, each with a more specific
emphasis on particular areas of applied mathematics, applied science, and
types of application. See glossary of engineering.
The term engineering is derived from the Latin ingenium , meaning
"cleverness" and ingeniare , meaning "to contrive, devise".
