While in many university courses attention is given to the human
side, as opposed to the technical side of engineering, it is by and
large an afterthought. Engineering is, however, a technical,
social, and personal activity. Several studies show that
engineering is a community activity of professionals in which
communication is central to the engineering task. Increasingly,
technology impacts everyone in society. Acting as a professional
community, engineers have an awesome power to influence society but
they can only act for the common good if they understand the nature
of our society. To achieve such understanding they have to
understand themselves. This book is about understanding ourselves
in order to understand others, and understanding others in order to
understand ourselves in the context of engineering and the society
it serves. To achieve this understanding this book takes the reader
on 12 intellectual journeys that frame the big questions
confronting the engineering professions.
