Engineering is the design, analysis, and/or construction of works for practical purposes. The Engineers' Council for Professional Development, also known as ECPD, defines Engineering as: "The creative application of scientific principles to design or develop structures, machines, apparatus, or manufacturing processes, or works utilizing them singly or in combination; or to construct or operate the same with full cognizance of their design; or to forecast their behavior under specific operating conditions; all as respects an intended function, economics of operation and safety to life and property."
The broad discipline of engineering encompasses a range of specialized sub disciplines that focus on the issues associated with developing a specific kind of product, or using a specific type of technology.
The engineering operations handbooks in this section suggest, explain and provide plans for many different constructions essential in combat, warfare and survival.
