His/her work is predominantly intellectual and varied and not of a routine mental or physical character. He/she is able to assume personal responsibility for the development and application of engineering science and knowledge, notably in research, design, construction, manufacturing, superintending, managing and in the education of the engineer. In 1961, the Conference of Engineering Societies of Western Europe and the United States of America defined "professional engineer" as follows: Ī professional engineer is competent by virtue of his/her fundamental education and training to apply the scientific method and outlook to the analysis and solution of engineering problems. The work of engineers forms the link between scientific discoveries and their subsequent applications to human and business needs and quality of life.
A professional engineer is typically a person registered under an Engineering Council.
#FUNCTIONAL SYNONYM PLUS#
The foundational qualifications of an engineer typically include a four-year bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline, or in some jurisdictions, a master's degree in an engineering discipline plus four to six years of peer-reviewed professional practice (culminating in a project report or thesis) and passage of engineering board examinations. The word engineer ( Latin ingeniator ) is derived from the Latin words ingeniare ("to contrive, devise") and ingenium ("cleverness"). Scientist, architect, project manager, inventor, astronautĮngineers, as practitioners of engineering, are professionals who invent, design, analyze, build and test machines, complex systems, structures, gadgets and materials to fulfill functional objectives and requirements while considering the limitations imposed by practicality, regulation, safety and cost.
