A foreman, forewoman or foreperson is a supervisor, often in a manual trade or industry.
Foreman may specifically refer to:
Construction foreman, the worker or tradesman who is in charge of a construction crew
Shop foreman or plant foreman, the frontline supervisor in a skilled trade, manufacturing or production operation
Ranch foreman, the manager of a ranch, overseeing all aspects of the operation
Foreman of Signals, a highly qualified senior non-commissioned signal equipment manager and engineer in the British Army's Royal Corps of Signals
Jury foreman, a head juror
Foreman (surname)
Foreman, Arkansas, a city in Little River County, Arkansas, United States
USS Foreman (DE-633), a Buckley class destroyer escort of the United States Navy
Foreman (software), a systems management software application
An engineer is a practitioner of engineering, concerned with applying scientific knowledge, mathematics, and ingenuity to develop solutions for technical, societal and commercial problems. Engineers design materials, structures, and systems while considering the limitations imposed by practicality, regulation, safety, and cost.[1][2] The word engineer is derived from the Latin words ingeniare ("to contrive, devise") and ingenium ("cleverness").[3][4]
The work of engineers forms the link between scientific discoveries and their subsequent applications to human needs and quality of life.[1]
A Professional Engineer is competent by virtue of his (her) fundamental education and training to apply scientific method and outlook to the analysis and solution of engineering problems. He is able to assume personal responsibility for the development and application of engineering science and knowledge, notably in research, design, construction, manufacturing, superintending, managing of the education of the engineer. His work is predominantly intellectual and varied, and not of a routine mental or physical character. It requires the exercise of original thought and judgment and the ability to supervise the technical and administrative work of others.
His education will have been such as to make him capable of closely and continuously following progress in his branch of engineering science by consulting newly published work on a world wide basis, assimilating such information and applying it independently. He is thus placed in a position to make contributions to the development to engineering science or its applications.
His education and training will be such that he will have acquired a broad and general appreciation of engineering sciences as well as a thorough insight into the special features of his own branch. In due time he will be able to give authoritative technical advice and to assume responsibility for the direction of important tasks in his branch.
The above definition has been agreed by the Conference of Engineering Societies of Western Europe and the United States and by the Commonwealth of Engineering Conference.
Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that generally deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. This field first became an identifiable occupation in the latter half of the 19th century after commercialization of the electric telegraph, the telephone, and electric power distribution and use. Subsequently, broadcasting and recording media made electronics part of daily life. The invention of the transistor, and later the integrated circuit, brought down the cost of electronics to the point they can be used in almost any household object.
Electrical engineering has now subdivided into a wide range of subfields including electronics, digital computers, power engineering, telecommunications, control systems, radio-frequency engineering, signal processing, instrumentation, and microelectronics. The subject of electronic engineering is often treated as its own subfield but it intersects with all the other subfields, including the power electronics of power engineering.
Electrical engineers typically hold a degree in electrical engineering or electronic engineering. Practicing engineers may have professional certification and be members of a professional body. Such bodies include the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (professional society) (IET).
Electrical engineers work in a very wide range of industries and the skills required are likewise variable. These range from basic circuit theory to the management skills required of a project manager. The tools and equipment that an individual engineer may need are similarly variable, ranging from a simple voltmeter to a top end analyzer to sophisticated design and manufacturing software
