Here's why:

* Engineering is the application of scientific, mathematical, economic, social, and practical knowledge to design, build, and maintain structures, machines, devices, systems, materials, and processes.

* It focuses on using scientific principles and mathematical tools to solve real-world problems and create practical solutions.

* Examples include:

* Civil engineers designing bridges and buildings.

* Mechanical engineers developing engines and machines.

* Electrical engineers designing circuits and electrical systems.

* Software engineers creating software and applications.

While other fields like applied science or technology might also involve the application of science and math, engineering specifically emphasizes the creation of practical solutions and the use of design and development processes.
