GATE@Abhyaas
Engineering
Engineering is the skill, discipline and process of acquiring and applying scientific, economic, social and practical knowledge to design and build structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes.
Engineer
An engineer is a professional practitioner of engineering, concerned with applying scientific knowledge, mathematics and ingenuity to develop solutions for technical problems.
The word engineer is derived from Latin roots, ingeniare (to devise) and ingenium (showing inventiveness and skill)
Technology
Technology is a purposeful application of information in design, production and utilization of goods and services, and in the organization of human activities.
Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineering is a discipline of engineering that applies the principles of physics and material science for analysis, design, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical systems.
