Art

Leonardo da Vinci, seen here in a self-portrait, has been

described as the epitome of the artist/engineer.[103] He is also known for his studies on human
anatomy and physiology.
There are connections between engineering and art, for
example, architecture, landscape architecture and industrial design (even to the
extent that these disciplines may sometimes be included in a university's Faculty of
Engineering).[104][105][106]

The Art Institute of Chicago, for instance, held an exhibition about the art of NASA's
aerospace design.[107] Robert Maillart's bridge design is perceived by some to have
been deliberately artistic.[108] At the University of South Florida, an engineering
professor, through a grant with the National Science Foundation, has developed a
course that connects art and engineering.[104][109]

Among famous historical figures, Leonardo da Vinci is a well-

known Renaissance artist and engineer, and a prime example of the nexus between
art and engineering.[103][110]

Business
Business engineering deals with the relationship between professional engineering,
IT systems, business administration and change management. Engineering
management or "Management engineering" is a specialized field
of management concerned with engineering practice or the engineering industry
sector. The demand for management-focused engineers (or from the opposite
perspective, managers with an understanding of engineering), has resulted in the
development of specialized engineering management degrees that develop the
knowledge and skills needed for these roles. During an engineering management
course, students will develop industrial engineering skills, knowledge, and expertise,
alongside knowledge of business administration, management techniques, and
strategic thinking. Engineers specializing in change management must have in-depth
knowledge of the application of industrial and organizational psychology principles
and methods. Professional engineers often train as certified management
consultants in the very specialized field of management consulting applied to
engineering practice or the engineering sector. This work often deals with large scale
complex business transformation or business process management initiatives in
 aerospace and defence, automotive, oil and gas, machinery, pharmaceutical, food
and beverage, electrical and electronics, power distribution and generation, utilities
and transportation systems. This combination of technical engineering practice,
management consulting practice, industry sector knowledge, and change
management expertise enables professional engineers who are also qualified as
management consultants to lead major business transformation initiatives. These
initiatives are typically sponsored by C-level executives.

Other fields
In political science, the term engineering has been borrowed for the study of the
subjects of social engineering and political engineering, which deal with
forming political and social structures using engineering methodology coupled
with political science principles. Marketing engineering and financial
engineering have similarly borrowed the term.

cellular telephony, computers and smartphones, and GPS to remote controls,
airplanes, and biomimetic materials and devices—isn't the same method scientists
use in their work. The scientific method has a prescribed process: state a question,
observe, state a hypothesis, test, analyze, and interpret. It doesn't know what will be
discovered, what truth will be revealed. In contrast, the engineering method aims for
a specific goal and cannot be reduced to a set of fixed steps that must be followed.
