Engineering science

| Subject classification: this is an engineering resource.

|

Engineering science is a broad discipline that encompasses many different scientific principles and associated mathematics that underlie engineering. It integrates engineering, biological, chemical, mathematical, and physical sciences with the arts, humanities, social sciences, and the professions to tackle the most demanding challenges and advance the well-being of global society. Engineering Science as a Course The unique knowledge and interdisciplinary skill set of engineering scientists allow them to merge multidisciplinary resources to propose and develop innovative, enduring solutions and transform the latest scientific discoveries into enabling new technologies. Engineering scientists research, develop, and design new materials, devices, sensors, and processes for a diverse range of applications. You will acquire specific knowledge and competencies during your program of study. While the skills and knowledge may be directly applicable to your major, your other skills – research, project management, teamwork, and problem-solving – for example, are valuable skills that you can transfer to a wide range of careers depending on what you want to do and what is important to you.

## How to prepare for it?

[edit | edit source]

The dream is not what you see in sleep, the dream is which does not let you sleep. – Dr. ABJ Kalam. Below listed are some tips and tricks, for a GATE aspirant, to crack the exam with flying colors: Struggles make a man achieve success Practice regularly to solve problems and clear doubts. It is rightly said that perfection comes out of practice. Take the help of previous year questions to practice regularly to polish your preparation. Solving mock papers and sample papers will provide additional help. The number of questions solved by you will directly be proportional to the results achieved. Time is precious, use it wisely. Time management is the key to any success. Time is precious and ones lost can never be recovered again. Time management skills are a must while preparing for any exam. It is important to devote your time to all the important topics. In the exam hall also, managing time is as important as knowing the answers. Working hard day and night is required but giving time to yourself to relax your brain and body is also equally necessary. Nothing is Impossible, the word itself says, “I M (am) Possible” Nothing is impossible if you work hard with a combination of dedication and effort. Do not let yourself get demotivated. Feed yourself with spoons of motivation as a positive attitude is an advantageous tip for the preparation. Do not lose hope even if you find it difficult to cope up sometimes. De-stress yourself whenever required.
