State effort to add engineering
Engineering is more than a discipline or a career.
It's a way of thinking. An approach to solving
problems and inventing new and better ways of doing
things. Engineers draw upon science and mathematics,
communication and interpersonal skills - and their
own ingenuity - to make the world a better place.
