From what I’ve gathered so far in the class, I would define engineering as style or method to go about a certain problem. For example, we’ve studied how the agriculture of the Mayans and how they built their whole culture around farming. Since most of the population were farmers they centered it very close to them, even having a god tied to it. This class incorporates the many styles of engineering from several different cultures. We as humans have always studied this, in hope of finding more new and improved ways to society. Connecting this to our resent topic with water, Americans are fighting the war of drought and we as students can potentially fix this in the new future. Even if it may not be a problem you can fix as an individual, the knowledge will surely help with other problems we may face.
