Practically every advancement in civilization over the last 12,000 years has been predicated on engineering innovations, and these innovations have created a global network of breathtaking complexity. Thus, the influence that engineering has had on society cannot be understated. The purpose of this essay is to demonstrate how extensive the influence of engineering has been.

To this end, you will discuss how engineering has influenced seven core aspects of life:

water,
food,
goods,
shelter,
energy,
transportation, and
communication.
You will explain which engineering innovations are associated with each of these core aspects of life, and you will link the branches of engineering with each innovation you discuss. This will include at least four different branches of engineering, which may include but are not limited to

aerospace engineering,
agricultural engineering,
automotive engineering,
biological engineering,
chemical engineering,
civil engineering,
computer engineering,
electrical engineering,
environmental engineering,
industrial engineering,
manufacturing engineering, and
mechanical engineering.
