Engineers use imagination, judgment, reasoning and experience to apply science, technology, mathematics, and practical experience. The result is the design, production, and operation of useful objects or processes. ...more on Wikipedia about "Engineering"

(Fatigue (material)) In materials science, fatigue is the progressive, localized, and permanent structural damage that occurs when a material is subjected to cyclic or fluctuating strains at nominal stresses that have maximum values less than (often much less than) the static yield strength of the material. The resulting stress may be below the ultimate tensile stress, or even the yield stress of the material, yet still cause catastrophic failure. ...more on Wikipedia about "Fatigue (material)"

Light technicians are involved with setting up and controlling lighting equipment. Toward this end, they will confer with the director and the cinematographer.
