Engineering: Important Role In Building The World
Every year 15 September has been celebrated as Engineer's Day as a tribute to the greatest Indian Engineer Bharat Ratna Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya.
The world is changing, and engineers are behind this development.
Engineers are always important as engineers build the world. Engineering is one of the key forces that shape our society. Using maths and science they provide innovation and inventions in the way of living. It means engineers have a responsibility and great opportunity to ensure their positive influence on society.
The evidence of the existence of engineering has been observed from the stone age, such as the fundamental invention of wheels, pulleys, carts, etc. Great pyramids, the Taj Mahal & the Great Wall of China are the engineering marvel and even seven wonders of the earth.
In the 21st century, everyone is surrounded by technologies; and this shows the importance engineering is in our life and society. Engineering is the application of scientific knowledge to solve the real world's problems.
Influence of Engineering Across Diverse Sectors:
Engineering has a tremendous contribution to each sector; let us take a look at how engineering is dominating every sector:
1. Construction
Engineer is a crucial part of the construction and has a vital influence on product specification. As construction becoming more complex and architects are liable more on Engineers. While starting any construction projects, architects design the building structure by taking advice from specialized engineers. It saves the construction time as well as cost, and the building becomes strong. Expertise in civil engineering has enabled to build of bridges, dams, tunnels, expressways, etc.
2. Medicine
When we talk about the progress in medical science, engineering and medical science go hand in hand with each other; to improve the quality of healthcare. Of course, the medicines and drugs used are more the medical sciences fields, but the tools used absolutely would not exist without engineering.
3. Energy
The energy industry has seen intense global growth over the last decade, and engineers have played a significant role in empowering the transformation of the world to clean energy and sustainable practices. From the small household appliances to humongous machines in factories engineer has dominated.
4. Environment
Sustainability is one of the serious issues around the world; to overcome this environment engineering is developing solutions for waste management, pollution reduction, and reduce the overall impact of humans on the environment. Thankfully, environmental engineering is coming up with new and innovative solutions to minimize pollution and making our industrial processes environment-friendly.
Apart from these areas, engineering has a wide range of applications in the manufacturing, electronics, automotive, biotechnology, software industries, and many more.
Engineers have one primary goal: to benefit society. We cannot describe the importance of engineering in our Society and Life. It always helped us lift up the standard of living and sustainable development to protect our earth and its surrounding nature. As our world becoming more technology-dependent, the reliance on good tech will make engineers increasingly essential; and it will increase over time.
