I ve always considered Engineering an application of science to solve problems (to make humanity better, if you want the pure, idealistic definition). In my opinion,
Engineering = f(Science).
Someone wanna take a shot at the function?
- Anechoic 16y agoOne definition of engineering I read a while back (and haven't been able to find again) was something to the effect of "engineering is the application of science to produce devices to perform useful work" so by that definition, I'd agree with you.
- gte910h 16y agoBy the type of engineering you're talking about (the kind that doesn't require professional certification), I'd say the equation is Engineering = f(Science) + f(Experimentation) + f(Product Re-evaluation) + f(Specification) Another type is: Engineering = f(Science) + f(Laws) + f(Standards) + f(Inspections) + f(Accreditation) Yet another type is: Engineering = f(choo) + f(choo)
