in technology by engineers. Those are the people who saw
engineering as something more than a subject or a profession.

All those above are based on constructions and civil
engineering. Not only that even in software and computer
engineering fields creativity is highly required. An engineer is
required to solve a problem in the most efficient way. Almost
everything in the present technological products software
and programming are involved. So, for that, the creativity;
the ability to think out of the box should be the potential of
an engineer.
Gustave Eiffel, Elon Musk are world renowned examples for
engineers who explored the art of engineering from a different
angle. It was not their profession. It was their passion. That’s
why they became that much success in their career.
So as shown above engineering is not just a dry systematic
subject that is extremely complex, it is an art. It’s a passion
and also an engineer should be able to think differently and
out of the box. Last but not least what I need to emphasize
is that the art of engineering is not yet fully explored and yet
there is much more to be discovered.
