ENGINE- from Latin ‘ingenium’
Originally an engine was a mechanical device that
converted force into motion.
Military devices such as catapults, trebuchets and
battering rams are referred to as siege engines.
The term "gin" as in cotton gin is recognised as a
short form of the Old French word engin, in turn
from the Latin ‘ingenium’, related to ingenious,
meaning “innate quality, especially mental power,
hence a clever invention.”
Most devices used in the industrial revolution were
referred to as engines, and this is where the
STEAM ENGINE gained its name.

• Engineering is the discipline, art and
profession of acquiring and applying
technical, scientific, and mathematical
knowledge to design and implement
materials, structures, machines,
devices, systems, and PROCESSES that
safely realize a desired objective or
invention
05/31/15 3
Engineering is the profession in which
knowledge of the mathematical and
natural sciences gained by
study, experience, and practice
is applied with judgment to develop ways to
utilize economically, the materials and
forces of nature for the benefit of
mankind.
[ABET- Accreditation Board for Engineering & Technology]
05/31/15 4
• Engineering turns the potential value of
science into reality by translating scientific
knowledge into tools, resources, energy,
products, information, and labour to bring
them into service to mankind.
• The Engineer must have the humanistic
sense to understand the needs of society
and the imagination to visualize what is
possible.
05/31/15 5
• One who practices engineering is called an
ENGINEER, and those licensed to do so may
have more formal designations such as
PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER, CHARTERED
ENGINEER, INCORPORATED ENGINEER, or
EUROPEAN ENGINEER.
• The broad discipline of engineering
encompasses a range of more specialized
SUBDISCIPLINES, each with a more specific
emphasis on certain fields of application
and particular areas of technology.

Renaissance era
• The first electrical engineer is considered to be
William Gilbert, with his 1600 publications of De
Magnete, who was the originator of the term
"electricity".
• The first steam engine was built in 1698 by
mechanical engineer Thomas Savery.
• The development of this device gave rise to the
industrial revolution in the coming decades,
allowing for the beginnings of mass production.

Modern era
1. Civil engineering - The design and construction of
public and private works, such as infrastructure (roads,
railways, water supply and treatment etc.), bridges and
buildings.
2. Electrical engineering
A very broad area that may encompass the design
and study of various electrical & electronic systems,
such as electrical circuits, generators, motors,
electromagnetic/electromechanical devices,
electronic devices, electronic circuits, optical fibers,
optoelectronic devices, computer systems,
telecommunications

2a. The experiments of Michael Faraday, Georg Ohm
and others and the invention of the electric motor
in 1872, and the work of James Maxwell and
Heinrich Hertz in the late 19th century gave rise to
the field of Electronics
The inventions of the vacuum tube and the transistor
further accelerated the development of Electronics
to such an extent that electrical and electronics
engineers currently outnumber their colleagues of
any other Engineering specialty.
05/31/15 11
3. Mechanical Engineering. The inventions of Thomas
Savery and the Scottish engineer James Watt, the
design of physical or mechanical systems, such as
engines, power trains, kinematic chains, vacuum
technology, and vibration isolation equipment gave
rise to modern Mechanical Engineering
• The development of specialized machines and their
maintenance tools during the industrial revolution led
to the rapid growth of Mechanical Engineering both in
its birthplace UK and abroad.
05/31/15 12
4. Chemical Engineering, like its counterpart
Mechanical Engineering, developed in the
nineteenth century during the Industrial Revolution
with the exploitation of chemical principles in order
to carry out large scale chemical process, as well as
designing new specialty materials and fuels.
• Industrial manufacturing demanded new materials
and new processes and by 1880 the need for large
scale production of chemicals was such that a new
industry was created, dedicated to the development
and large scale manufacturing of chemicals in new
industrial plants.
• The role of the chemical engineer was the design of
these chemical plants and processes.
05/31/15 13
5. Aeronautical Engineering deals with aircraft design.
Early knowledge of aeronautical engineering was
largely empirical with some concepts and skills
imported.
• Only a decade after the successful flights by the Wright
brothers, the 1920s saw extensive development of
aeronautical engineering through development of
World War I military aircraft. Meanwhile, research to
provide fundamental background science continued by
combining theoretical physics with experiments.
05/31/15 14
6. Aerospace Engineering is a more modern term that
expands the reach envelope of the discipline by
including spacecraft design. Its origin can be traced
back to the aviation pioneers around the turn of
the century from the 19th century to the 20th
although the work of Sir George Cayley has
recently been dated as being from the last decade
of the 18th century.
7. With the rapid advancement of technology many
new fields gained prominence and new branches
developed such as materials engineering, computer
engineering, software engineering, mechatronics,
robotics, nanotechnology, food process engineering,
tribology, molecular engineering, etc

visualize the different views, sketch it and covey
through DRAWINGS.
DRAWING speaks thousand WORDS
PROTOTYPE speaks thousand DRAWINGS
Also, the works to be executed should be in
ABSOLUTE format and NOT RELATIVE
Eg. Your daily activities are yours, others may have other
ways to execute it, but in manufacturing, when you are
replaced with another person, he MUST do it as per a
defined and standardized format.
