Engineers are innovators who take a fresh look at science and technology in order to apply old knowledge to finding feasible solutions to new human problems. Since engineers are trained in diverse subjects and work in a variety of fields, challenges abound for anyone who is scientifically oriented and mathematically inclined. An engineering education will open many doors to technical and creative challenges. The solutions for most engineering problems are found by following the basic 6-step scientific method. This is a formal description of a method of problem-solving which is used easily and frequently throughout the day.
