Engineers do not only work with machines. They also work a lot with other people.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.niee.org/nafta.html |title=Principles of Ethical conduct in Engineering Practice Under The North American Free Trade Agreement |access-date=2011-03-04 |archive-date=2010-07-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100730044651/http://www.niee.org/nafta.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> Many engineering projects are large and very complicated. Often [[Interdisciplinarity|different kinds]] of engineers work together and help each other. As an example, computer engineers need help from electrical engineers to build a computer. The computer needs programs written by software engineers. The computer could be used by aerospace engineers to control an airplane. An airplane is a big mechanical system with many parts, so a mechanical engineer and a systems engineer are also needed.
