Engineering is the application of science and math to solve problems. Solving problems is one of the main components of engineering because you're always looking for something that needs improvement. In engineering, there is always going to be a solution to/for everything. In this particular field, it's necessary to do everything with detail to ensure everything goes the way you want it to. Another main component of engineering is teamwork. Teamwork can be frustrating at times, but it can also help you see certain situations from a different perspective, and in engineering you always have to look for alternatives.
