Engineering is a complex and creative field that is undergoing constant change.
Regardless of the area of specialization, the engineer is basically concerned with the application of scientific principles to practical problems. There are several areas in which these scientific principles are applied such as in research and development, construction, production, sales, administration, consultation, and education. The engineer has been responsible for designing some of the things that today's society needs most like industrial equipment, consumer goods, highways, and telephone, computer, and satellite equipment. Engineering majors usually are curious and enjoy the challenge of designing new devices or systems. They often like mathematics since many mathematics courses are required in an engineering curriculum.
