ENG 190 - Professional Engineer Questions
and Correct Answers the Latest Update
Professional Development
✓ Accreditation of engineering programs, regulations and licensing of engineers, the
process of registration
Characteristics of a Profession
✓ There is no universal accepted account of a "Professional Engineer", but rather a set of
characteristics that hold true of a profession
✓
✓ 1) Entrance into a profession requires an extensive period of training (of an intellectual
character/content - distinctive from practical skills)
✓ 2) Any society that has a sophisticated scientific and technological base is especially
dependent on its professionals.
✓ 3) Professionals have a monopoly or near monopoly on the provision of professional
services.
✓ 4) Control is achieved by requiring that only those who have graduated from a
professional school should be allowed to hold a professional title. Professions maintain
standards in professional schools by establishing accreditation standards to regulate the
quality of curriculum content (e.g. ABET - Accreditation Board for Engineering and
Technology)
✓ 5) Professionals have an unusual degree of autonomy in the workplace. Professionals in
private practice have considerable freedom, even when working in large organizations,
as the possession of specialized knowledge allows for professional autonomy.
✓ 6) Professionals are regulated by ethical standards, which are usually embodied in a code
of ethics (these are promulgated by professional societies)

Tasks of Scientists
✓ Basic task is to perform research; a scientist may primarily specialize in creating new
theoretical explanations for unexplained or recently discovered phenomena; a scientist
may propose the need to modify existing theories, or even propose the existence of new
phenomena or events
✓
✓ A scientist may be more inclined to perform experimental work, designing the experiments
and the required diagnostics to prove the theoretical speculations
✓
✓ A theoretical scientist may be inclined to use computational techniques (computer codes)
to go beyond what can be done from a pure analytical approach.
Lawrence's Cyclotron
✓ A good example of creativity where a scientist, E.O. Lawrence (physicist), did engineering
(invented the cyclotron) in order to continue with his scientific research of High-Energy
Physics
Tasks of Engineers
✓ An engineer may be concerned with the creation of devices, systems, processes, structures,
new materials, etc. Depending on the different stages of the project, approaches can be
analyical, experimental, or computational.
✓
✓ R&D, design (internal and external), develop prototype, manufacturing plan, mass
production, packaging, etc. -- all include a significant level of management at each state.
