A profession which has designed and developed everything from cars and planes to computers and cell phones to buildings. Often confused today with mechanics, technicians, and train drivers. Without them it would be back to the caves. They deserve respect.

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.

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.
