  Engineer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An engineer is someone who practices the profession of engineering – a person who uses scientific knowledge to solve practical problems using technology.
The title "engineer" is normally used only by individuals who have an academic degree (or equivalent work experience) in one of the engineering disciplines.
This applies particularly to those european countries with laws regulating the use of the title engineer, since the term technologist is not regulated.

 Materials Engineers
Employment of materials engineers is expected to grow more slowly than the average for all occupations through 2008.
Many of the manufacturing industries in which materials engineers are concentrated—such as primary metals; industrial machinery and equipment; and stone, clay, and glass products—are expected to experience declines in employment.
As firms outsource their materials engineering needs, however, employment growth is expected in many services industries including research and testing, personnel supply, health, and engineering and architectural services.

 Materials Engineers
Many of the materials they create are "composites," incorporating a combination of substances into something entirely unique and crafted to meet a specific mechanical, electrical or chemical requirement.
Entry-level materials engineers need at least a bachelor’s degree in engineering, however, many jobs require advanced degrees, and master’s degrees and doctorates are often necessary for advancement.
Materials engineers are widely distributed among industries, since materials are building blocks for other goods.

 Materials for Engineers • Guides for Lecturers • UK Centre forMaterials Education
The subject of materials is an important part of the education and training of engineers, and yet it is sometimes undervalued or minimised in the curriculum of engineering undergraduate courses.
Materials has its foundations in physics and chemistry and is regarded by many materials academics as a science and tends to be taught with an emphasis on 'why?' rather than 'how?'.
Engineers may regard the subject in a more practical sense and may wish to know what engineering properties materials have, rather than the science that explains why materials behave as they do.

While listing materials on the Materials Exchange is free, NY Wa$teMatch encourages Materials Exchange users to make contributions for completed transactions (recommended rate: 20 percent of total value).
A materials exchange is a service that facilitates the use of one company's unwanted or discarded material as another's raw material.
A materials exchange helps producers and end-users of a variety of materials to find one another and serves as a clearinghouse of information about available surplus, by-products, and used or otherwise unwanted durable discards.

Evidence of stretching may indicate that the material has been overheated; if the material does not pull neatly into place during vacuum forming then it is likely too cool.
It is far preferable to heat the material quickly in a hot oven than slowly in a cooler environment.

Galvanic corrosion (some times called dissimilar metal corrosion) is the process by which the materials in contact with each other oxidizes or corrodes.
Often when design requires that dissimilar metals come in contact, the galvanic compatibility is managed by finishes and plating.
The finishing and plating selected facilitate the dissimilar materials being in contact and protect the base materials from corrosion.

Most of the errors that I have listed below are of the sort that are also made frequently by politicians, journalists, and various special interest groups.
My examples are divided into two lists: (1) sloppy reasoning or wording (these often occur where the Teacher’s Guide gives a "model response"), and (2) errors associated with "real-world" applications.
In particular, it is a mathematical error to use averages to try to show that there is a large amount of variability in the rankings of any given candidate.
