1. An individual self-sustaining unit of life or living material. Five forms of organisms: plants - animals - fungi - protists - and bacteria

2. Work performed by an engineer -involves the knowledge of mathematical and natural sciences applied with judgment and creativity to develop ways to utilize materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind.

3. An action that causes material to be removed

4. A systematic problem solving strategy - with criteria and constraints - used to develop many possible solutions to solve a problem or satisfy human needs and wants and to winnow (narrow) down the possible solutions to one final choice.

5. Is the use of knowledge - tools - and resources to help people solve problems.

6. Brings materials and parts together to make a finished product

7. Device with fixed and moving parts that modifies mechanical energy in order to do work.
