Iraq suffers from a great confusion between engineering disciplines at several levels among the decision-makers. This resulted from the great development in engineering sciences, which generated many overlaps between the engineering specializations and this problem leads to a bigger problem represented in the quality of the engineering product. This puts us in front of a goal which is the necessity to provide a general knowledge culture in the community that prevents them from mixing between engineering specialties, and to reach such a goal we need a logical analysis of the elements of the problem, as finding general knowledge of engineering specializations will reduce many engineering problems and in all stages of engineering work. Accordingly, this problem can be solved by educating several groups in society, including the citizen, the official and the engineer, in addition to academic disciplines other than engineering. Thus, engineering culture or general engineering knowledge is the basis for obtaining an engineering product of low cost and good quality.
