The Importance Of Engineering

Engineering has been an interesting form of career and is often discussed in the society. It can be expressed as a mean in which people try to find the solutions of problems. Finding the solutions will allow them to understand more about the physical world they live in. This may greatly improve the society, resulting in increased productivity and efficiency in the daily life scenarios. This opinion is supported by Tredgold (1828) as "[e]ngineering is the art of directing the great success of power in nature for the use and convenience of man." In dealing with the ways for solving problems, engineers have designed numerous methods which would provide different approaches. According to Florman (1976), engineering is said to be "the art or science

It contains many possibilities, and unforgettable moments. Through engineering, one could easily obtain the satisfaction and joy. Thus,engineering has many lifetime opportunities. My top three lists would be self-esteem, social impact and the creative thinking. These three lists are unique and rare to find today. By becoming an engineer, these aspects can be achieved and I would take pride in so doing. First of all, self-esteem can be regarded as an important factor in every aspect of life (Landis 2013, pp. 57). It reflects the actions and feelings when dealing with people. The process is a self-evaluation, where a person can analyze his or her worthiness and capability through emotional means. The experience will be gained and the mature decisions can be made. This allows a person to be assured with most of the tasks. Hence, an engineer should be confident and experienced, which today’s society is in

Teamwork plays the critical role, as “[n]othing of significance is ever achieved by an individual acting alone.” (Landis 2013, pp. 192). In fact, group work will allow the team to work faster and more productive. This also applies in both engineering students’ life and their future. As part of conducting teamwork, I have done the peer assessments, where I give the ratings to myself and my team members. I have obtained the feedback this week and I must say the results are quite impressive. As for ratings from my peers, I scored well on the ability to organise, perform, manage, evaluate and work at a high standard. This score reflects on my behaviour and actions for my team. I realise that being open-minded and honest about my ideas is better and it also sends the clear message. I feel that our group has become more confident and as a result, we seem to work effectively. Moreover, our group may be interpreted as the system with increasing dynamic and chemistry. However, there are some factors which need to be improved. These cases include developing ideas, broader analysis and more contribution. From the required cases, I can change how I act with the team and try to produce better teamwork throughout the
