My name is Peter Rowan, I'm 14 and I'm a freshman at Nature Coast Technical High School. My hobbies include playing guitar, listening to music and hanging out with my friends. My favorite bands are Mötley Crüe, Aerosmith, Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi, Sixx:A.M., The Who and Velvet Revolver. The biggest influence in my life is Mick Mars because he always gives everything his all and makes sure nobody forgets it. My goals for my Engineering 1 class is to keep up with all assignments, continually up date my portfolio and complete all projects successfully within the given the time limit.

Engineering is the disipline of acquiring and applying scientific and technical knowledge to the design, analysis, and/or construction of works for practical purposes. The American Engineers' Council for Professional Development , also known as ECPD,(later ABET),defines Engineering as: "The creative application of scientific principles to design or develop structures, machines, apparatus, or manufacturing processes, or works utilizing them singly or in combination; or to construct or operate the same with full cognizance of their design; or to forecast their behavior under specific operating conditions; all as respects an intended function, economics of operation and safety to life and property."One who practices engineering is called an engineer, and those licensed to do so have formal designations such as Professional Engineer, Chartered Engineer or Incorporated Engineer. The broad discipline of engineering encompasses a range of specialised subdisiplines that focus on the issues associated with developing a specific kind of product, or using a specific type of technology.
