TABLE A: ENGINEERING FUNCTIONS
ENGINEERING FUNCTIONS:

The branches indicate what the engineer works with; the functions
describe what he does. In order of decreasing emphasis on science,
the major functions of all engineering branches are the following:

Research. The research engineer seeks new principles and processes


by employing mathematical and scientific concepts, experimental
techniques, and inductive reasoning.

Development. The development engineer applies the results of


research to useful purposes. Ingenious and creative application of new
knowledge may result in a working model of a new electronics circuit,
a chemical process, an industrial machine, or a gadget of optronics.

Design. In designing a structure or a product, the engineer selects


methods, specifies materials, and determines shapes to satisfy
technical requirements and to meet performance specification.

Construction. The construction engineer is responsible for preparing


the site, determining procedures that will economically and safely yield
the desired quality, directing the placement of materials, and
organizing the personnel and equipment.

Production. Plant layout and equipment selection, with consideration


of human and economic factors, is the responsibility of the production
engineer. He chooses processes and tools, integrates the flow of
materials and components, and provides for testing and inspection.

Operation. The operating engineer controls machines, plants, and


organizations providing power, transportation, and communication. He
determines procedures and supervises personnel to obtain reliable and
economic operation of complex equipment.

Management and other functions. In some countries


(U.S.A.,Japan, etc) and industries, engineers analyze customer
requirements, recommend units to satisfy needs economically, and
resolve related problems. In some industries, too, engineers decide
how assets are to be used.
