“Science is about what is,
Engineering is about what can be.” -Neil Armstrong

“The process of producing a technical product or system to meet a specific need .
Engineering” is derived from the Latin word “Ingenium” meaning the use of talent, native ability, genius, cleverness as in “Ingenuity”.
The art of applying scientific & mathematical principles, experience, judgement, and common sense to make systems/devices that benefit society..
![Page 13: What is Engineering? Who is an Engineer? Types of Engineering How to become an Engineer](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102617/568142bf550346895daf0b4e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
This may sound confusing but all it really means is that Engineering is just using the principals of the Sciences to develop a product or system the best way possible.
