Engineering is a profession thatserves many functions of design and problem solving. These engineering functions support thegoals of business and entrepreneurship, and in turn engineering is supported by entrepreneurship.The ideas and designs created by engineers are only useful if they fill a need and have a market,such as creating machines for improving industry or solving troublesome problems.
