1. Why are engineers considered an important segment of the society?

Almost everything that you used every day has either been designed by an engineer, or built using machines or tools designed by engineers. The study of Engineering is the study of how to design things while always considering safety, useful, aesthetics, profitability and reliability.

2. What are expected of engineers in general?

Engineers are expected to perform a variety of tasks depending on their specialization and job level. It is important to the engineer that he knows what is expected of him to perform his job effectively and efficiently. The next concern will be to identify the skills required which the engineer did not possess. As engineers, they are not directly trained to deal with people, it is expected that their weakness will most often be on people-based skills. This difficulty will be moiré apparent once they are assigned to occupy management positions. It follows that if the engineer manager would want to do his job well, some exposure to engineering management activities will be necessary.

Engineers are expected to find solutions to technical problems they are equipped with various theories, methods, principles that identify a problem, find the cause, and make a solution problems are challenges for engineers, success and failures add up to the knowledge and skills making him/her a better engineer Engineers put the theories into actual and tangible objects. Engineers will always be the medium for modernization but unfortunately will not be hailed as a hero. Engineers are not the front liners; they are the backbone. A silent contributor to an ever changing world that is why an engineer's career path is slow. But eventually engineers are the best managers because they know all the aspects and operations

3. In what current concerns are engineering outputs needed?

Even as engineers are currently...
