engineering

noun een-heh-nyeh-REE-ah Less Common

Usage Note

Ingeniería is the discipline; the practitioner is ingeniero/a (engineer). The accent on -ía breaks the diphthong, giving five syllables: in-ge-nie--a. Common collocations include ingeniería civil (civil engineering) and ingeniería de software (software engineering). Do not confuse ingeniero with ingenioso (ingenious).

Examples

"Estudia ingeniería en la universidad."
