Engineering is the discipline, art, skill and profession of acquiring and applying scientific, mathematical, economic, social, and

practical knowledge, in order to design and build structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes that safely realize improvements to the lives of people. T]he 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 Chemical engineering The exploitation of chemical principles in order to carry out large scale chemical process, as well as designing new specialty materials and fuels. Civil engineering The design and construction of public and private works, such as infrastructure (roads, railways, water supply and treatment etc.), bridges, dams, and buildings. Electrical engineering a very broad area that may encompass the design and study of various electrical & electronic systems, such as electrical circuits, generators, motors, electromagnetic/electromechanical devices, electronic devices, electronic circuits, optical fibers, optoelectronic devices, computer systems, telecommunications and electronics. Mechanical engineering The design of physical or mechanical systems, such as power and energy systems, aerospace/aircraft products, weapon systems, transportation products engines, compressors, powertrains, kinematic chains, vacuum technology, and vibration isolation equipment An engineer is a professional practitioner of engineering, concerned with applying scientific knowledge, mathematics and ingenuity to develop solutions for technical and practical problems. Engineers design materials, structures, machines and systems while considering the limitations imposed by practicality, safety and cost.[1][2] The word engineer is derived from the Latin root ingenerare, meaning "to create"
A workshop is a room or building which provides both the area and tools (or machinery) that may be required for the manufacture or repair of manufactured goods. Apart from the larger factories, workshops were the only places of production in the days before industrialisation.

Advantages

Users are usually very motivated Have flexibility over length and frequency of sessions Can offer a series of workshops that build on one another

Disadvantages

Users attending may have a broad range of skills (computer and language) May have difficulty getting a room if classroom space is in short supply May be hard to fit everything that you want to cover into a single workshop Handling large classes for hands-on practice may be difficult
