LEARNING EXPERIENCE Nº 4

TOPIC: ENGINEERING

Engineering is the study and application of mathematics, physics and chemistry, to develop

economical solutions to solve the technical problems.

Engineering contributes to solving the material individual and collective needs of people, and

through the satisfaction of those needs represents society, supports the development and

generates wealth.

Furthermore the engineer is responsible for resolving the problems encountered in society. For

instance:

Power engineering is responsible for efficiently distribute electrical energy in a city. Civil

engineering allows the construction of bridges in order to facilitate vehicular traffic.

Petroleum engineering is used to extract and refine hydrocarbons in a safe and feasible way.

It is categorized into the following three specializations; drilling, reservoir and production.

Petroleum engineering allows the production of fuel for vehicles and machinery. And the Petrol

is created through the blending and refinement of hydrocarbons (crude oil and natural gas are

the two most commonly used hydrocarbons).

In conclusion, the job of engineering is combine the fields of science such as physics,

mathematics, and chemistry to solve real world problems and improve the world around us.
