Thanks for the information, Maria! Sometimes I can't understand my class books, and I need some extra explanations, but reliable explanations. The MIT is indeed reliable. As I write here, I'm downloading some material for my classes! Thanks once again!
ResponderBorrarThe two key aspects of engeneering are science and technology. In relatioship with science, the engeneers, study and analyze the world and, later, they creates new things, and this is close related with technology.
ResponderBorrarAcording with the engeneering disciplines they focuses in field of study of different sciences:
Civil, mechanical and electrical engeneers focuses on particular aspects of physics.
Chemical, nuclear and material's science engeneers focuses on differents branches of chemestry.
But all of them needs the maths!
The two aspects of the engineering are the science and technology. If he has to choose two formal words, they are analysis and sinthesys.
ResponderBorrarCivil, mechanical and electric engineering focus on physics, in different branches. Chemical, Nuclear, Material focus on chemistry, in different branches of course.
