Engineering plays an important role in our life. It provides us with many things that we use every day. But what is actually engineering? Many dictionaries define it as a mix of knowledge and scientific techniques applied to the invention, improvement and management. It offers solutions to many problems that affect humans. Engineers use materials and forces of nature for the benefit of humanity, and they have to keep in mind environmental protection, too.

Today is a special day for all of them, and they deserve congratulations from their colleagues, relatives and friends. Everyone should wish them a happy day and thank them for their hard work.
