According to the Accreditation Board for Engineering
and Technology (ABET):

“ENGINEERING is the profession in which a

knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences
gained by study, experience, and practice is applied
with judgment to develop ways to utilize
economically the materials and forces of nature for
the benefit of mankind.”

DR. NOR KHAIRUSSHIMA 15

Engineer: A person applying his mathematical

It is a discipline not an art.
