Engineering is the application of natural sciences and mathematics to solve problems. While a scientist will ask why there is a problem, an engineer will want to know how to solve it. A writer once said that scientists build in order to learn, while engineers learn in order to build.

Engineers play an important role in creating advanced technologies and making innovations accessible to the whole world. Engineering about designing new products and finding new uses for old products. They carry out research and put their knowledge in practice. There are all sorts of opportunities in a variety of engineering fields such as aerospace, biomedical, civil, mechanical and computer engineering. Different types of engineers solve different problems. Aerospace engineering is the primary field of engineering concerned with the development of aircraft and spacecraft. It helps explore new worlds. Environmental engineering focuses on ways to prevent pollution.Сhemical engineering contributes to develop new medicines. Engineers work in research labs, outdoors, and even out space!

Holland is prone to flooding, due to the fact that it is a geographically low–lying country. One of the greatest engineering achievements is the Delta project. This is the biggest obstacle to flooding on the planet. This helps to protect a huge piece of land in the Netherlands. It includes a number of methods, including dams and flood boundaries. If the problem of floods was not solved, many people would be constantly at risk.

Most scientists agree that the threat of a large asteroid or meteor hitting the Earth is real, although they cannot predict when such an event will occur. The earth has been struck many times in the past by large objects. In addition, humanity may face an environmental catastrophe. This must be one of the biggest problems of the 21st century. Scientists have long warned that many species of animals and plants are disappearing.

Several methods of planetary protection have been invented, but one theory is being tested right now The DART mission is NASA's demonstration of kinetic impactor technology, impacting an asteroid to adjust its speed and path. Scientists have developed mathematical models to assess the feasibility of the project, built a drummer model and done virtual safety tests. A full-scale DAWN probe was made and then launched on November 24, 2021. The entire mission will last until about 2025.

The creation of a solar farm in the Sahara will be at the cutting edge of solving the problem of climate change and providing clean electricity in Europe. As sunlight is more intense in the Sahara, North Africa will keep up with modern technology and generate three times more electricity compared to panels in Europe. The project will start in Morocco, probably near the desert city of Ouarzazate, where solar farm will cover 12 square kilometers and each one solar panel will be 5 meters high. The project gives Germany a sense of pride for such a large-scale project worth €45 billion.

Some believe that this project is employ a steam engine to crack a nut, in fact, scientists are still thinking how the valley will work in bad weather. At the same time, there is usually only one sandstorm a year. What is more, engineer implement state-of-the-art techniques in the design of solar panels. The main problem will be maintaining the cleanliness of the panels due to dustiness. However, maintaining the cleanliness of the panels will provide a wide range jobs for residents and will stimulate the economic growth of African countries.

In conclusion, I want to say that engineering is the key to our future. Engineers are those who create systems that protect people and the environment around them, and the contribution of engineers to society is huge.
