Engineering refers to the process of transforming existing entities (natural or artificial) into artificial products with expected use value through an organized group of people and applying relevant scientific knowledge and technical means according to a set of envisaged goals.
/kloc-In the 8th century, the word "engineering" was coined in Europe. It originally meant weapons manufacturing and various tasks with military purposes, and later it was extended to many fields, such as building houses, making machines, building bridges and roads, and so on.
The main foundations of engineering are mathematics, physics and chemistry, and the resulting materials science, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, transport process and system analysis.
The process of transforming existing entities (natural or man-made) into man-made products with expected use value. Broadly speaking, engineering is defined as a process in which a group of people cooperate (individually) for a long time in order to achieve a certain goal.
Main functions:
1. research: apply the concepts, principles and experimental techniques of mathematics and natural science to explore new working principles and methods.
2. Development: solving various problems encountered in the application of research results to practice.
3. Design: Choose different methods and specific materials to determine the design scheme that meets the technical requirements and performance specifications to meet the requirements of the structure or product.
4. Construction: including site preparation, material storage, selection of economic and safe working steps that meet quality requirements, personnel organization and equipment utilization.
5. Production: Taking into account human and economic factors, the factory layout, production equipment, tools, materials, components and technological processes are selected for product testing and inspection.
6. Operation: Manage machinery, equipment, power supply, transportation and communication to make all kinds of equipment run economically and reliably.
7. Management and other functions.
