Engineering goes back a long way. The concept of engineering has been present since ancient times. People made fundamental inventions The pulley, lever and wheel, although simple ideas, have a modern definition of engineering. Engineers in the ancient era were mainly used to build and supervise the constructions of the pyramids. Different civilizations used engineering in different ways. Ancient Greece produced machines in both the public and military fields. Archimedes was known for creating the Antikythera mechanism, which was the first known computer model. Archimedes was a Greek who lived from 287 BC to 212 BC. Archimedes also takes credit for the invention of gears. The Chinese and Roman armies built complex machines such as the catapult. Imhotep was known for his bridge developments.Imhotep was a 27th century Egyptian.Imhotep was the first known civil engineer.The word engine itself has been around for a long period of time.The word engine is Latin for ingenium which means quality innate, especially mental power The word "Engineer" dates back to 1325, when an engineer, someone who operates an engine, was called an engineer by a conductor. (Ford)Engineers go through a long training process before they can regularly get a job. Most engineering jobs require 4 years of time at a university. A bachelor's degree in the appropriate field is highly recommended. Courses that offer practical training are important. Engineers usually must be registered and/or licensed. Engineers must be creative, analytical, and detail-oriented. Many colleges/universities have excellent engineering programs. Some of the best and well-known engineering schools include: Stanford, Georgia Tech, Cornell, Michigan, Purdue, ... ... middle of paper ...... study medicine and engineering. Both the study of medicine and engineering provide solutions to real-world problems. Medicine, which studies the body, uses engineering methods. The study of medicine has produced biomedical engineering results. Some engineers see the human body as a biological machine. This has led to biomedical engineers being confused with biologists. Both use the concepts of engineering and medicine. Biomedical engineers often use the methods of biologists. Technology is an important part of engineering. Computers can be used to create models for testing. The most widely used information technology is computer-aided design. In recent years computer software has become known as Product Lifecycle Management. Computers can check for errors that humans may not notice. Distribution and organization of all information is normally on the computer.
