 Engineering - Electronics, nuclear, software telecommunication, industrial engineering
More specifically, engineering is a technological activity that uses professional imagination, judgement, integrity, and intellectual discipline in the application of science, technology, mathematics, and practical experience to design, produce, and operate useful objects or processes that meet the needs and desires of humanity.
Engineers typically include a factor of safety in their designs to reduce the risk of unexpected failure.
Historically, engineering has been seen as a somewhat dry, uninteresting field in popular culture, and has also been thought to be the domain of nerds (with little of the romance that attaches to hacker culture).

 Department of Engineering Science, University of Toronto - YESTERDAY AND TODAY
Engineering Science, or Engineering Physics as it was then called, was inaugurated in the 1934-35 academic year.
Engineering Physics broke with the tradition laid by John Galbraith, Principal of the School of Practical Science and the first Dean of the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, which succeeded the School.
It is believed that a wider and more thorough acquaintance with the basic sciences will bring the student to a readier appreciation of the nature of the technical problems with which he will later be confronted and a greater facility in the solution of them.
