Is Engineering Really Uninteresting Or Do We Need To See it Differently?

If you think that engineering is boring, how about you give it another look from a different perspective

Just recently while surfing on the internet, I found a few articles talking about just how boring engineering was. Naturally, this peeked my interest although with quite a contorted face. The interest was because, there must be a new perspectives that these writers must have that the rest of us do not, and the contorted face because I was dreading that it was just some click bait. To my surprise, they were actually raising some points from a serious perspective. In short, they were actually serious about their point of view about the matter. At this point I was definitely shocked and horrified at the same time. If you think engineering is uninteresting or boring, then just read this and hopefully you will change your perspective about the matter.

If you think about absolutely anything at all, it is almost a given that engineering has something to do with it. Whether it is in the construction of the thing or in the design of the thing, you can bet that engineering has something to do with it. The point that I am trying to make here is that engineering is a very wide field. It encompasses everything from what a bridge construction company would do, to what a paper manufacturing company would do. Like with everything else, there are some interesting things that engineering does as well as some uninteresting things that engineering does, or does it?

The truth of the matter is that your perspective is what matters most. If you think that mathematics and science is boring, then you will probably not like some of the things that engineering does. You may think that something more creative is right up your alley. Well, here is the surprise, engineering is like the perfect meshing of both of these worlds. If you just look around you, and have a look at the chair that you are sitting on, the desk you are working on, the room that you are in, the building that you can see, the bridge construction that is on your way from the closest town and all the way to what the guys in space are doing, you will not only see interesting design elements that used a lot of science and mathematics to get done but they also involved a lot of creativity as well. Therefore, the nest time you look at anything that man has built, you can be sure that some engineering went into that as well. Back to the point, what matters is your perspective, if you have interest in being creativity, then how about you gravitate towards the creative side of engineering. If on the other hand you have an analytical mind, then engineering will be a perfect home for you as well. At the end of the day, what matters most is that the future will be shaped by engineers and you need to decide which side of the future you want to be on.
