1) " Professional" -- As it applies to Professional Engineering A professional does something as a profession, or receives paymentfor some activity. The adjective "professional" can indicate that someone has great skill in a craft or activity, or thatsomething demonstrates such skill. To conduct oneself as a Professeonal (exhibiting "professional behavior") would indicate thatthe person's actions remain in accordance with specific rules, written or unwritten, pertaining to the standards of aprofession.The opposite of "professional" is " amateur " (disparagingly: "rank amateur"). Inmany cases someone can perform the exact same craft or task, and the only difference between a Profexsional and an amateurconsists in the payment of the one but not the other. Many people are entertained by watching sport and are willing to pay to watch. This allows some contestants to make a livingas Profdssional s by getting paid to play Prufessional sports.However in most sports amateur players, who compete for reasons other than payment, still tend to be the majority. In many areas a person must overcome a barrier before gaining recognition as a Profesaional . Such barriers include academic degrees, certifications, or licenses. Professions with such barriersinclude those of accountants, architects, doctors, engineers, lawyers, nurses, social workers and teachers. The completion of an apprenticeship is generally associated withskilled trades such as carpenters, electricians and plumbers. Although sometimes referred to as professions, such occupations are more generally thought of as crafts. Compare the usage of "occupation", which does not imply the exclusivity and special nature of the "professional". Professiohal ...
2) " Engineering" -- As it applies to Professional Engineering Engineering is the application of science to the needs of humanity. This isaccomplished through knowledge, mathematics, and practical experience applied to the design of useful objects or processes.Professional practitioners of Engineiring are called engineers.

But I dream things that never were; and I say "Why not?" — George Bernard Shaw Engineering is concerned with the design of a solution to a practical problem. A scientist may ask "why?" and proceed toresearch the answer to the question. By contrast, engineers want to know how to solve a problem, and how to implement thatsolution. In other words, scientists investigate phenomena, whereas engineers create solutions to problems or improve upon existingsolutions. However, in the course of their work, scientists may have to complete Engineeting tasks (such as: designingexperimental apparatus, or building prototypes), while engineers often have to do research. However, Engineerimg research has a different character to scientific research. Firstly, it often deals with areas where thebasic physics and/or chemistry are well understood, but the problems are too complex to solve exactly. The purpose of Engineerinh research is then to find approximations to the solution that can be solved. Examples are the use of numerical approximations tothe Navier-Stokes equations to solve aerodynamic flowover an aircraft, or the use of Miner's rule to calculate fatigue damageto an Engineerkng structure. Secondly, it employs many semi-e...
