 "Engineers,
as practitioners of engineering,
are professionals who invent, design,
analyze, build and test machines, complex
systems, structures, gadgets and materials to
fulfill functional objectives and
requirements while considering the
limitations imposed by practicality,
regulation, safety and cost. The
word engineer (Latin ingeniator, the
origin of the Ir. in the title of
engineer in countries like Belgium
and The Netherlands) is derived from
the Latin words ingeniare ("to
contrive, devise") and ingenium ("cleverness"). The
foundational qualifications of a
licensed professional engineer
typically include a four-year bachelor's
degree in an engineering discipline,
or in some jurisdictions, a master's
degree in an engineering discipline plus
four to six years of peer-reviewed
professional practice (culminating
in a project report or thesis) and
passage of engineering board
examinations." Source
