Introduction

Is there any engineering method that would enable us to do substantial improvement in the living standards of man-kind? From the engineering viewpoint, is it possible to scientifically specify the fundamental difference between the peoples of industrialized countries and those of the other countries? In this article I have tried to find the appropriate answers to these questions.

The strong will of nations for having a better life is undeniable. Consequently, some activities in developing countries in relation to the development and promotion of standards shall be regarded as an understanding of the need to promote development of the societies in the field of production, especially in the industrial sector. Notwithstanding the existing general definitions with regard to the concept of “industry”, this article exclusively considers the two aspects of manufacture and production of this word, which have always been in close connection with "Engineering”. Therefore, at the beginning, it seems that a careful examination of the meaning of the word "Engineering” may serve some useful purposes.

The present article is written, while believing that a comprehensive cognition of a specific phenomenon can not be ascertained through examining its general aspects only, especially if it is intended to modify or develop the phenomenon in question careful consideration of the relevant details is a must, too.
