What is engineering science
- Engineering science is a broad discipline that encompasses many different scientific
principles and associated mathematics that underlie engineering. It integrates engineering, biological, chemical, mathematical, and physical sciences with the arts, humanities, social sciences, and the professions to tackle the most
demanding challenges and advance the well-being of global society What do engineering scientists do?
- The unique knowledge and interdisciplinary skill set of
engineering scientists allows them to merge multidisciplinary resources to propose and develop innovative, enduring solutions and transform the latest scientific discoveries into enabling new technologies.
- Engineering scientists research, develop, and design new
materials, devices, sensors, and processes for a diverse range of applications.
