think of an engine as a giant air pump. It gobbles up air from the atmosphere and dumps it into six cylinders. Inside each cylinder, the air is mixed with fuel that is sprayed in by the fuel injectors. The spark plug ignites, causing a small but powerful explosion. This explosion rapidly expands the air that is inside the cylinder, forcing the piston upwards. The piston is connected to the connecting rod which turns the crankshaft. The crankshaft spins and is connected to the transmission, driveshaft, rear differential, and finally, the rear axle and wheels.

Engineering is the combination of sciences and mathematics to solve real world problems that improve the way people travel to places, work, travel, stay healthy, and entertain ourselves themselves on a daily bases. Engineering is concerned with the design, building and use of engines, machines and structures.

"we are, we are, we are, we are, we are the engineers. We can, we can, we can, we can demolish forty beers. Drink rum, drink rum, drink rum, drink rum, now come along with us. For we don't give a damn for any old man who don't give a damn about us.
Those money grubbing commie fucks are going straight to hell. And all those puny artsci' shits will work at Taco-Bell. So kiss my ass and fill my glass, it's only beer eleven. We live at Clark, we've made our mark, we're Sci'o'fucking seven!!!!!!!!

A path not for the faint of heart. Not only will you get constantly shafted by your classes, but god forbid you get a professor or TA that grades your homework without being lenient, which happens to be the case. On the plus side, it'll be easy to find engineering opportunities and related-club, solely out of the experience of surviving hell with other poor souls.

Person with extreme mathematical, scientific and technological knowledge. Often beleive that they have "real" lives, which usually do not extend much further than endless plot dicussion with fellow engineers about movies such as "The Matrix" (C)...
They usually tend to have extreme problems when attempting to communicate with the opposite sex.

Doctor: Your son has the knack ma'am
Mother: The knack?
Doctor: The knack, the supreme understanding of all things electrical and mechanical, along with other social ineptitude...
Mother: Will he ever live a normal life?
Doctor: No, he will be an Engineer
Mother: //Breaks down crying

Da Vinci was the first scientist to study materials. Think of all the grand engineering from before that time.
