The word engineer (Latin ingeniator) is derived from the Latin words ingeniare ("to contrive, devise") and ingenium ("cleverness").
Why are we called 'Engineers'?
Is it from 'Engine'?. But steam engine was made only in the 19th century whereas engineering as a profession came in to existence centuries before.
The word 'Engineer' has nothing to do with the word engine. Engineer did not originate in engine. The word engineer originated from 'ingenium' which is a Latin word meaning ingenius meaning someone who solves problems that elude normal persons.
From 'ingenium' came 'ingenieur' ( which is the French word for engineer even now) and from it came the English word Engineer.
So, let us be ingenius and solve problems for the society and ameliorate life of all.
