economics is the study of human behaviors as a relation between ends and scarce resources that have alternative uses.
L. Robbins
it stands for c= capital: man-made items used to produce goods and services to satisfy consumers needs and wants. eg. tool, machinery and factories. e= enterprise: the ability or skill of an entrepreneur of a business to coordinate the other factors of production (CELL) efficiently. l= labour: the people who are willing and able to participate in the production process in return for material rewards (wages). l= land: natural resources also includes MAFF; mining, agriculture, fishing and forestrys.

Note: the following is my opinion but is based on facts. Engineering is a great applied science that studies how to make solutions to practial, scientific problems. While engineering deals with how to solve these problems, economics is the complementary science of how to optimise these solutions. Economics analyses production mathematically and statistically. For engineering, microeconomics is the invaluable tool to determine optimisation with given resource constraints (mostly by Lagrangian multi-variate methods). Game theory analysis can help determine incentive structures engineering systems should take to make proper human actions. The best use of economics in engineering is to apply these solutions to different engineering solutions in order to achieve Pareto efficiency, or economic, efficiency (ironically, Pareto was an engineer himself). The best solutions in engineering are not always the best-designed or the ones of highest quality but also the ones which are cost-effective and effiicent given constraints. Economics can master these concepts.
An input is what the firm uses in order to produce a final good. So it can be material, like glass to make light bulbs, but more often these are generally looked at as intermediate goods. A true input is usually capital (K) or Labor (L) used to produce a quantity (Q) of a good. so a simple production function can look like this Q=K+L meaning that if you had 3 units of K and 5 units of L you would have 8 units to sell. This type of production function where K and L are added is indicative of inputs being perfect substitutes.
