Things engineers make?What Does an Engineer Do?: What Does an Engineer Do? Engineers turn ideas into reality Definition: “Engineering is the application of math and science to create something of value from our natural resources”Did you know…?: Did you know…? Civil engineers are using foam walls to give the Indy 500 Speedway safer curves Engineers worked with Indy Racing League and NASCAR to develop new S.A.F.E.R. racing wall Did you know…?: Did you know…? Computer science engineers are working on robots so tiny they might eventually fit INSIDE the human body Did you know…?: Did you know…? Chemical engineers have developed a spray-on skin The skin is in the form of a gel which soldier may be able to use to guard against micro-organisms that cause infection Did you know…?: Did you know…? Mechanical engineering students have developed a bicycle that glows in the dark Who are Engineers?: Who are Engineers? "Scientists discover the world that exists; engineers create the world that never was."
