Question1
Before I do the detailed research on the engineer and their roles, I think that the engineers are
the person who design, implement, build, test new machines and devices, systems which will
be helpful in making the life’s easy for the other individuals. The engineers are responsible
for defining the problems conducting and analysing the research, finding the solution and
making decision for the same. I think the engineer works in a variety of fields to analyse,
develop, and evaluate large scale, difficult system. This can be done to have the improved
and maintained system or creating the brand new projects (Ughanwa and Baker, 2018).
Question2
Yes; my view has been changed a little about the role of engineers and their performance of
work. After having a detailed review on the engineers are not only the people who analyse
and summarise the things while taking the decision. But the scope of engineers is more than
that. The engineers are responsible for all the work done by them whether it is planning the
new technique, implementing it, taking the decisions and after that taking the feedback. If the
project does not goes in accordance to that expected then taking the corrective action for
making it right. In Australia, the engineer’s areas do the new task in the field of agriculture
industry.
Question3
Expert can be defined as the person who is very knowledgeable about or skilful in a particular
area. In my view the engineer can be an expert. It can be expert in the mechanical, or
software’s or other lines of engineering. In engineering, it will take four years to complete the
course. The expert can become engineer by taking the degree with skills and knowledge. The

study of the engineering is both the experience and learning as well. The expert gains the
theoretical knowledge from the books and when applied in the real life with his innovation
and skills in it, he gains experience from it (Lee and Smith, 2018).
Question4
Reading and understanding the whole, I have understand that the role and duties performed
by the engineers. I developed the new knowledge of how the engineers design perform and
implement their work. The engineer can be an expert while taking the knowledge from its
academics and apply that knowledge on the practical life while using its skills and innovative
techniques. To activate my knowledge base, I like to learn things from others to increase my
knowledge. Everything cannot be learned by us, some topics can only be understood by the
explanation given by others. I develop those skills by reading and learning more (Irwin,
2016).
Question5
Key behaviour in my opinion is listening. In listening, the people get the understanding what
other people wants to tell. While listening to some person, half of the problem of person is
solved. I am trying to be a good listener. As good listener has its own quality. A listener can
make it existence feel in front of everyone by nodding the head, showing the facial
expression as if he can understand each and everything. From this the other people feel that
the person is very understandable and have many capabilities to do and understand the new
things from others (Bryant and Goswami, 2016).
Question6
When I am carrying out any research, I would first like to read all the contents related to the
