Engineers, as practitioners of engineering, are professionals who invent, design, analyze, build and test

machines, complex systems, structures, gadgets and materials to fulfill functional objectives and
requirements while considering the limitations imposed by practicality, regulation, safety and cost.[1][2]
The word engineer (Latin ingeniator[3]) is derived from the Latin words ingeniare ("to contrive, devise")
and ingenium ("cleverness").[4][5] The foundational qualifications of an engineer typically include a
four-year bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline, or in some jurisdictions, a master's degree in an
engineering discipline plus four to six years of peer-reviewed professional practice (culminating in a
project report or thesis) and passage of engineering board examinations.

various branches of engineering:
