2. What is
engineering?
According to Webster’s
Dictionary:
Engineering
The application of
math and science by
which the properties
of matter and the
sources of energy in
nature are made
useful
to people.
Engineers apply math and science for the
betterment of society through:
Above all, engineers are problem solvers who make
things work better, more efficiently, quicker and
cheaper.

Notas do Editor
PLAY HARD in high school/college = short term gains. The rest of your financial life will suffer. Bad grades equals bad jobs.
WORK HARD in high school/college = long term gains. Study/dedication to classes has long term financial gains. Good grades equals the best jobs.
Challenge yourself in high school/college:+ Study hard to make the best grades+ Diversify your activities (sports, clubs, honor societies, social)+ Volunteer, tutor younger students in your strongest subjects+ GET INVOLVED+ CO-OP
