Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1RQ
- 1. Which of these is closest to the definition of engineering put forward by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE)?
- A. The practice of using mathematical equations
- B. The application of science
- C. The discovery of technological inventions
- D. The supervision of project design
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Find the right option.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The right option is “B . The application of science”.
Explanation of Solution
According to National Academy of Engineering (NAE), engineering requires the application of science in order to acquire and apply the knowledges to design, operate, analyze, and construction of the works or devices which are used for practical purposes.
Engineering is not only using of mathematical equations or discover of inventions or supervision of project designs, it is the complete application of science.
Therefore, option (B) is correct, and options (A), (C) and (D) are incorrect.
Conclusion:
Thus, the right option is “B . The application of science”.
