This open access book examines how the social sciences can be
integrated into the praxis of engineering and science, presenting
unique perspectives on the interplay between engineering and social
science. Motivated by the report by the Commission on Humanities
and Social Sciences of the American Association of Arts and
Sciences, which emphasizes the importance of social sciences and
Humanities in technical fields, the essays and papers collected in
this book were presented at the NSF-funded workshop 'Engineering a
Better Future: Interplay between Engineering, Social Sciences and
Innovation', which brought together a singular collection of
people, topics and disciplines. The book is split into three parts:
A. Meeting at the Middle: Challenges to educating at the boundaries
covers experiments in combining engineering education and the
social sciences; B. Engineers Shaping Human Affairs: Investigating
the interaction between social sciences and engineering, including
the cult of innovation, politics of engineering, engineering design
and future of societies; and C. Engineering the Engineers:
Investigates thinking about design with papers on the art and
science of science and engineering practice.
