The World of Engineering

Engineering in the world of Science, revolves around the orbits of Physics. It is the key of successes and also the mother of all technologies. Engineering is the base to everything and for all inventions since they all require the rules of engineering. Engineering, known to all, is the root of all the successful inventions that are currently being used worldwide today.

Though there are many different kinds of engineering in the world, the variety of engineering still leads to only one thing- benefiting the people living in this world, making this world a fuss-free and easier place to live in. Indeed, without engineering, would we humans be able to live on?

It seems like some kind of joke to claim that we cannot live without the principles of engineering but would it not be true that for now we cannot live without lighting? In Singapore, it is even almost impossible to live without air-conditioning and for the current world full of businesses and other expatriates, is it possible to live without the modern technology of cell phones? I believe that teenagers in Singapore can no longer live without the existence of cell phones, and with that I do believe that this scenario is no longer restricted to Singapore only, but also extended to other countries, Asia and beyond. Technology is already embedded into us and is already part of our lives that it would definitely be impossible to ignore it. Yes, changes in technology is a continual occurrence and there is nothing to stop it. We, homosapiens, have evolved ever since those cavemen era and definitely we are not going back there again.

With engineering, miracles are being created daily, or even perhaps every minute in science laboratories all around the globe. Perhaps you would be thinking that ‘miracles’ is seemingly a religious word to use but to think of it, there are people who ‘worship’ Physics as a religion and thus, various ‘miracles’ are often created.

Why ‘miracles’ you might be thinking. Well, do you not think that the invention of the light bulb by Thomas Edison was a miracle? Or lest, we will be writing in the dark at night, with a severe case of myopia! To add on that, is it not a miracle for the discovery of the refraction of glass and to make different refractive indexes for them for the creation of lens for our spectacles to better correct our cases of myopia around the globe that seems to be increasing by the hour! Or rather, is it not a miracle to have the telephone invented by Alexander Fleming? Did the telephone improve our ways of communication? Yes! What about the computer? The cell phone? The Internet? Are these not miracles of the human race? The list could go on and on!


Perhaps many would say that, ‘hey, Engineering is not the thing the world is orbiting on! We rely on the medical sciences!’ Perhaps, but is it not true that even the biomedical sciences are relying on the world of Engineering to move on? Engineering is the seed to all of the medical sciences as well, though Engineering is revolving mainly on Physics but then again without Engineering, is it even possible for those medical sciences to go on? Say that one day, all the Engineering work are being eliminated, will there be any one dealing with the machines for those medicinal productions? No! Will there be anyone doing large productions of medicine? No! What about technical stuff and problems faced in those biomedical laboratories? No! So is Engineering important to you? Playing a big part in everything?

Of course, there are times where Engineering seems to be having a bit of mistakes, that is, wrongdoings, inventing the wrong things. Take for instance, nuclear engineering. Hazardous? Yes! Harmful? Yes!

Nuclear engineering is one field of engineering that seems to be doing harm to the human race and to Gaia itself. Nuclear Engineering seems all so wrong! Just to recall from all our history books when nuclear bombs were felled on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It was a total catastrophe, I do admit. Dire consequences came after that. The aftermath of the entire bombing was horrendous and with that, many would think, why create the nuclear bomb and harm the people? Why not picture all the aftermath and results after the bombing? Radiation, mutation, is that what we want of the future generations? Settling of a problem is not easy, yes, but just to get a upper hand, and we do not think of what would happen after that? This lesson actually taught us, the future generation, that with everything, picture the end as well. When there is only one problem, there are many solutions to it.

But then again, with only one as the black sheep, what is there not to agree that the rest of the fields of Engineering are white and pure? Is it not true that with electronical engineering, we could get most of our technologies working? Is it not true that with aerospace engineering, we could get most of our planes and technical things on them working well? Is it not true that with Chemical Engineering, we could get our petroleum chemicals and large production of pharmaceutical materials done right? Then is it not true that Engineering has done a lot of good and is playing a huge part in our lives and thus, we could not live without it!

Engineering is one aspect of life that no one can deny its existence and contributions to the current advanced technologies. Since Engineering is the key of successes and also the mother of all technologies, Engineering is indisposable, bounderless and can go on forever! Engineering is the steps of every man’s success and to bring the human race and technologies as well as the human intelligence one level up and beyond.


Cheers and kudos to Engineering! With engineering, our world can be fuss-free, easier to handle and also give us loads of excitement and various inventions that we can look forward to every single day.

With engineering, everything is possible.
