**-Engineering is the designing, testing and building of machines, structures and processes using maths and science. Studying it can lead to a rewarding career**.
-Engineering is a discipline dedicated to problem solving. Our built environment and infrastructure, the devices we use to communicate, the processes that manufacture our medicines, have all been designed, assembled or managed by an engineer.
 
-There are many reasons why people may want to become engineers. Some of the common ones are:

- Engineers can use their creativity every day to solve problems and innovate new solutions.
- Engineers have many opportunities to travel the world and work in different fields and industries¹.
- Engineers have high salaries and job outlooks, as they are in high demand and respected for their skills and knowledge.
- Engineers have a huge impact on the world, as they contribute to the development of society, the environment, and the well-being of people.

If you are interested in becoming an engineer, you should consider which branch of engineering suits your interests and goals, and pursue the proper education and training for it.

Conclusion: 


The engineering has relationship with other disciplines. Scientist study the world as it is; engineers create the world that has never been. Engineering is quite different from science. Scientists try to understand nature. Engineers try to make things that do not exist in nature. Engineers stress innovation and invention. Even it is used in medicine and biology.The study of the human body, albeit from different directions and for different purposes, is an important common link between medicine and some engineering disciplines. Medicine aims to sustain, repair, enhance and even replace functions of the human body, if necessary, through the use of technology. Even in the art and business and also in other fields like; In political science, the term engineering has been borrowed for the study of the subjects of social engineering and political engineering, which deal with forming political and social structures using engineering methodology coupled with political science principles. Marketing engineering and Financial engineering have similarly borrowed the term.
