ENGINEERING: SOLVING
PROBLEMS WITH MATH &
SCIENCE
• How many of you know
someone who is an
engineer?

• What does an engineer

do?
WHAT IS ENGINEERING?
Engineering is the
application of math
and science to
create something of
value from our natural
resources.
 ENGINEERING AND
CANDY
• How is engineering involved in the
creation and sale of candy?
 ENGINEERING AND CANDY
• An electrical engineer designs and regulates the electricity throughout the candy
manufacturing plant.
 ENGINEERING AND CANDY
• Electrical engineering

• A electronics engineer controls the devices through automation to monitor and

manage the creation of the candy.
 ENGINEERING AND CANDY

 VARIETY OF ENGINEERING
 Besides those discussed in
DEGREES
making/selling candy:
– Aerospace engineer
– Ceramic engineer
– Materials engineer
– Nuclear engineer
– Software engineer
– Biomedical engineer
WHY SHOULD I BECOME
AN ENGINEER?
• Invent new things that help
people
– Computers and computer
games
– Cures for diseases
– Ways to protect the
environment
– New sources of energy
– New forms of
entertainment

 Use the latest technology

 Improve the world around

you
THE WORLD WITHOUT ENGINEERS
NOW LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT
SOME REAL LIFE ENGINEERS
AND WHAT THEY’RE
WORKING ON RIGHT NOW!
 SEPARATING OIL FROM WATER
• Di Gao, a chemical engineer at the University of Pittsburg,
invented a plastic-coated cotton material that could
clean up the Gulf.
 DESIGNING BETTER CARS
• Marcus Ashford, a mechanical
engineer at the University of
Alabama, has invented a car
engine with 80% less exhaust
emissions.
 CLEANING UP THE OCEAN
• Alexandria Boehm is an environmental engineer who works on
ways to clean up oceans near where people live.
 DESIGNING SPACE COLONIES
• Kimberly Jones is a civil engineer working on purifying water so
that we can one day go to Mars!!!
 CONTROLLING COMPUTERS WITH
THOUGHTS
• Daniel Moran, a biomedical engineer at Washington University,
has invented a way to play video games using only the human
mind!
LISTENING FOR CANCER

• John Viator, a biological

engineer, has invented a
way to hear cancer cells.

 ENGINEERING MISCONCEPTIONS
 Only the “super-smart” can become engineers.
 All engineers are shy.
 Engineers have no outside interests.
 All engineers are men.
 WOULD I LIKE ENGINEERING?
• Do you enjoy knowing  Do you get good grades in
how things work? math and science?
 Do you like mazes or jigsaw
• Do you think of new or
better ways to do things? puzzles?
 ADVANTAGES OF AN
ENGINEERING DEGREE
 Great salary for a bachelor’s degree
– Unlimited opportunities
– Small towns, big cities
– Small companies, large firms
– International sites
 Respected career
 Work with other talented people
 Opportunity to make a
large-scale difference
 WHAT ELSE CAN I DO WITH AN
ENGINEERING DEGREE?
 A ‘key’ to many other  Examples of former engineers:
career goals: – Manohar Parrikar, Former
– Project Manager Defense Minister, CM of Goa
– Executive – Kalpana Chawla, former NASA
astronaut
– Researcher
– Binny Bansal, founder of ‘flipkart’
– Professor
– R. Madhavan, Actor
 WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO TO
BECOME AN ENGINEER?
• Take math & science classes
seriously now
– Algebra, geometry, trigonometry,
calculus
– Chemistry, physics

• Begin planning for college

– Prepare for JEE
– Talk to your teachers
– Look out for the best and efficient
college
 WHY MATH AND SCIENCE?
• Math & science train you to draw
conclusions based on
systematically gathered facts.

• Math trains you to think logically

and recognize conclusions.

• Science trains you to develop

explanations based on
observations.
 HOW CAN YOU LEARN MORE
ABOUT ENGINEERING?
• Spend time at work with an
engineer.

• Talk with college students.
