Engineers, as practitioners of engineering,
are professionals who invent, design, analyze, build and
test machines, complex systems, structures, gadgets and materials to fulfill
functional objectives and requirements while considering the limitations
imposed by practicality, regulation, safety and cost. The word engineer is
derived from the Latin words ingeniare ("to create, generate, contrive,
devise") and ingenium ("cleverness"). The foundational qualifications of an
engineer typically include a four-year bachelor's degree in an engineering
discipline, or in some jurisdictions, a master's degree in an engineering
discipline plus four to six years of peer-reviewed professional practice
(culminating in a project report or thesis) and passage of engineering board
examinations.
The work of engineers forms the link between scientific discoveries and their
subsequent applications to human and business needs and quality of life.
A designer is a person who plans the look or workings of something prior to
it being made, by preparing drawings or plans.
More formally, a designer is an agent that "specifies the structural properties
of a design object". In practice, anyone who creates tangible or intangible
objects, products, processes, laws, games, graphics, services, and experiences
is referred to as a designer.
The education, experience, and genetic blocks that form the base of a
competent designer is normally similar no matter the area of specialization,
only in later stages of training and work will designer diverge to a specialized
field. The methods of teaching or the program and theories followed vary
according to schools and field of study. Today, a design team, no matter the
scale of the equipment, is usually composed by a master designer (the head of
the team) that will have the responsibility to make decisions about the way the
creative process should evolve, and a number of technical designers (the
hands of the team) specialized in diverse areas according to the product
proposed, depending on the type of design industrial design vs graphic
design for example. For more complex products, the team will also be
composed of professionals from other areas like engineers, advertising
specialists, and others as required. The relationships established between team
members will vary according to proposed product, the processes of
production, the equipment available, or the theories followed during the idea
development, but normally they are not too restrictive, giving an opportunity
to everyone in the team to take a part in the creation process or at least to
express an idea.
An economist is a practitioner in the social science discipline of economics.
The individual may also study, develop, and apply theories and concepts
from economics and write about economic policy. Within this field there are
many sub-fields, ranging from the broad philosophical theories to the
focused study of minutiae within
specific markets, macroeconomic analysis, microeconomic analysis
or financial statement analysis, involving analytical methods and tools such
as econometrics, statistics, economics computational models, financial
economics, mathematical finance and mathematical economics.
Economists work in many fields including academia, government and in
the private sector, where they may also "...study data and statistics in
order to spot trends in economic activity, economic confidence levels, and
consumer attitudes. They assess this information using advanced methods
in statistical analysis, mathematics, computer programming [and] they
make recommendations about ways to improve the efficiency of a system
or take advantage of trends as they begin."
An aircraft pilot or aviator is a person who controls the flight of an aircraft by
operating its directional flight controls. Some other aircrew members, such
as navigators or flight engineers, are also considered aviators, because they are
involved in operating the aircraft's navigation and engine systems. Other
aircrew members, such as drone operators, flight
attendants, mechanics and ground crew, are not classified as aviators.
In recognition of the pilots' qualifications and responsibilities, most militaries
and many airlines worldwide award aviator badges to their pilots.
The number of airline pilots could decrease as automation replaces copilots and
eventually pilots as well. In January 2017 Rhett Ross, CEO of Continental
Motors said "my concern is that in the next two decades—if not sooner—
automated and autonomous flight will have developed sufficiently to put
downward pressure on both wages and the number and kind of flying jobs
available. So if a kid asks the question now and he or she is 18, 20 years from
now will be 2037 and our would-be careerist will be 38—not even mid-career.
Who among us thinks aviation and especially for-hire flying will look like it
does now?" Christian Dries, owner of Diamond Aircraft Austria said "Behind
the curtain, aircraft manufacturers are working on a single-pilot cockpit where
the airplane can be controlled from the ground and only in case of malfunction
does the pilot of the plane interfere. Basically the flight will be autonomous and
I expect this to happen in the next five to six years for freighters."
