Engineering: The Art of Imitating God*
§ According to ABET • Engineering is the profession in which a knowledge
of the mathematical and natural sciences gained by study, experience, and practice is applied with judgment to develop ways to utilize, economically, the material forces of nature for the benefit of mankind
§ Scientists discover the world that exists; engineers create the world that never was. • Theodore Von Karman, Aerospace Engineer
* M. A. Kinsy, “Why I do the things that I do”, 2011
