An engineer is a person who is trained in a specific branch of engineering. He or she can design or build engines as well as run or supervise how an engine or apparatus is being used. A machine tool, on the other hand, is a mechanical device powered by a variety of sources. It can be operated automatically or through manual control. While human or animal powers are the usual options, recent developments have made use of steam engines and electricity.

Any power-driven machine used in shaping or forming parts made out of metal or other materials is considered a “machine tool”. Shaping is executed in four ways: (1) cutting the excess material like chips from the part; (2) shearing of the material; (3) squeezing the material to form the desired shape; and (4) applying electricity, corrosive chemicals, or ultrasound to the material. The traditional method of machining is that the tool used is much harder than the piece being worked on. However, some materials are just too hard or brittle to be worked on a machine through the usual methods. This is basically the root why non-conventional methods of using electricity have been adapted.
