1.2 types of Engineering
Learning outcomes:
• Explain the role and job functions between
engineers, engineering technologists, and scientists
• Explain the engineering disciplines and sub-
disciplines; in mechanical, chemical, civil and
electrical & electronic engineering
Introduction
• A team mean a group composed of members with varied
but complimentary experience, qualifications, and skills
that contribute to the achievement of the organization's
specific objectives
• In today's modern industry, a number of players are
involved in developing new products; forming what is
commonly known as the "engineering team”.
• These team players are "scientists," "engineers,“ and
"engineering technologists" .
• Identifying, defining and communicating roles and
responsibilities is fundamental to a team’s ability to
deliver. Clear definition of responsibilities allows each
team member to focus on their work and provides the
structure needed for them to feel comfortable in their role.
Provide efficient solutions to the development of processes and products

• Apply knowledge of mathematic, science, material and physical principles.


• Develop new better products and machines.
• Solve problems and focus on making things work more efficiently and
effectively.
• Engineers design materials, structures, and systems while considering the
limitations imposed by practicality, regulation, safety, and cost.
Focus on direct application of establishes engineering principles and
processes

• Technologists often work with engineers in a wide variety of projects by


applying basic engineering principles and technical skills.
• The work of technologists is usually focused on the portion of the
technological closest to product improvement, manufacturing, construction,
and engineering operational functions
• More interested in hardware and processes.
Focus on expansion ofknowledge and understanding physical processes.

• Uses the scientific method to do research in physical sciences, medical sciences


or in any other field.
• Emphasized the fundamental discovery of physical laws rather than their
application to product development.
• Planning and conducting experiments to investigate and analyse scientific
phenomena.
• Use scientific data to develop theories to explain phenomena
• Arranging the testing of products or materials to ensure that they meet
quality standards
• Maintaining accurate records of results
