What is the definition of an engineer?

• The process of understanding a problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan, and evaluating the plan in order to solve a problem or meet a need or want.

• A systematic problem-solving strategy, with criteria constraints, used to develop many possible solutions to a problem or to satisfy human needs and wants and narrow down the possible solutions to one final choice.
