Engineering notation is similar to scientific notation, with the constraint that the power of ten must be a multiple of 3 (or -3) or zero.
Example: 1. x 102 = 100. x 100
The advantage of engineering notation, is that moving between different metric prefixes (such as kilo-, mega-, giga-, milli-, micro-, nano-) is easier, because they change by a factor of 103.
So in the example above with 1. x 102, if the units were megawatts, and you wanted to see how many kilowatts that was, it is easier with Engineering Notation than scientific. 100. x 100 megawatts = 100. x 103 kilowatts

What is 293000 in scientific notation?
2.93E5, or 2.95 times 10 to the 5th power. The difference between "scientific notation" and "engineering notation" is that scientific notation generally has one digit before the decimal point and can have any exponent, while engineering notation uses exponents divisible by 3; so, 3, 6, 9, 12 and so on. So in "engineering notation", this number would be 293 times 10 to the 3rd power, or 0.293 times ten to the sixth power.
What is 0.00001 in engineering notation?
In engineering notation, 0.00001 is written as 10^-5.
How do you change a number to a engineering notation?
326*104
Is 35.9x10x23 a valid example for scientific notation?
No, that is engineering notation. 3.59 X 10^24 is the same number in scientific notation.
What is 209000 in engineering notation?
In engineering notation 209 x 10³ or 0.209 x 10^6 would be the most likely used powers of 10. In scientific notation it would be 2.09 x 10^5
What is 89000 in engineering notation?
89,000 in engineering notation is 89 x 10^3
What is 293000 in scientific notation?

What is the number 3300 expressed as in scientific notation and engineering notation?
Scientific notation: 3.3*103 And I'm not certain, but I think it is also 3.3*103 in engineering notation
What is 2210-4 in engineering notation?
2214
What is 934000000 in engineering notation?
Engineering notation has to be a factor of 1000. (10^3, 10^6, 20^9, etc.
Why in engineering you use engineering notation instead of scientific notation?
Sometimes engineers use either scientific or engineering notation, although you are correct that most of the time engineering notation is used. The reason for this the use if greek letter prefixes for quantities. Very often large and small quantities are expressed as micro, mega, giga, nano, and so on. These terms relate to engineering notation in multiples of 1000 or 1/1000. It is a very convenient shorthand not only in writing but also while speaking.
