Foundations of Engineering and Technology

Fall 2011

Engineering I

• Egyptian Engineers– Imhotep: Engineer to King Joser– Engineers to the Kushite Kings– Pyramids, Dams, and Canals

• Mesopotamian Engineers– First Canals built by the Sumerians of Southern Mesopotamia– Home and Wall construction– Assyrians and iron weaponry and the four wheeled war

machine/wagons – Aqueducts and paved streets of King Engineer Sennacherib

• Greek Engineers– Borrowed concepts of construction from Assyrians and Mesopotamians– 1st Metal Structure is attributed to the Greeks.– Golden age engineer Archytas of Taras, pure scientist and engineer.– Mechanical Bird that flew by compressed air.

Engineering I

• Greek Engineers:– Hellenistic Greeks were a mixture of Greek and Oriental people.– Archimedes and the science of hydrostatics was a result of

Hellenistic Greek.

• Roman Engineers:– Romans were also adaptive engineers; building off others ideas.– Most were civil engineers developing roads, bridges, etc.– Made significant advances in architecture and everyday

machinery.– Kingdom of Anatolia Central Indirect Heating– Discovery of Cement!– Use of the waterwheel, trusses and the pendentive.

Engineering I

• The Oriental Engineers:– Centered on religious activities.– Indian – Skills with iron works– Arabic – Skills with water clocks and waterwheels and the first

practical windmill.– Chinese – Suspension and cable stayed bridges, canals and

dams.

• The European Engineers:– Middle Ages was the height of invention.– Advances in cathedrals..the flying buttress– 18th century advanced hydraulics, canal building.– Renaissance saw the advent of engineering schools and

engineering became a defined discipline.

Discussion

• Has your idea of the field of engineering changed now that we have discussed it? If yes, how?

What is Engineering to Engineering Students?

Careers in EngineeringREVIEW

• ABET – The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.

• Engineering defined as:– The profession which the knowledge of the

mathematical and natural sciences, gained by study, experience, and practice, is applied with judgment to develop ways to use, economically, the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind.

• Using materials and forces for the good of humankind.

Interesting Engineering!

Careers in Engineering

• Discipline: A specific area practiced by an engineer.– They do overlap.– There are several sub-categories under each of the

major headings.• Role: The jobs within the disciplines that are held by

engineers.– Research, Inventor, Supervisor, Human Resources,

Sales, Financial Management– Example: Degreed Mechanical Engineer that is the

head of Sales for Ford Motor Corporation.

In the State of GABOTH DEGREES CAN LEAD TO LICENSURE

• Engineering and engineering technology are recognized as distinct points on the technical occupational spectrum.

• Different criteria for the two degree programs• Engineering Technology – accreditation criteria

prohibits program from claiming that it gives its graduates the equivalent of an engineering education.

• Pass rates based on Engineering test takers, exclude Engineering Technology degrees
