-'''Engineering''' is the application of [[science|scientific]] principles and advanced problem solving to create solutions to human needs.  There are many diverse fields of engineering, including but not limited to:
-*[[Chemical Engineering]]
-*Civil Engineering
-*Electrical Engineering
-*[[Genetic Engineering]]
-*Industrial Engineering
-*Mechanical Engineering
-*[[Nuclear Engineering]]
-*[[Computer engineering]]
-The people who engage in engineering are typically [[college]] graduates and called [[engineer]]s. A few engineering fields, most notably civil engineering, have some sort of professional certification program, but complete certification is general achieved well into the engineer's career.
-Engineering has produced some of the most spectacular feats of taming the wild earth, such as suspension [[bridge|bridges]] to cross wide rivers and valleys, dams to control [[flood]]ing and generate [[electricity]], [[skyscraper]]s to better utilize ground space in dense cities, rockets and equipment to explore the [[solar system]], and [[computer|micro-electronics]] and large machinery to help us achieve our goals.
