We live in the world where nothing is difficult, if there is a
market. There is therefore the dilemma of want and need. Technology
wants what life wants. Using technologies, it seems, it is possible
to do anything and produce anything. The centre of gravity of the
engineering profession is shifting. The world wants confident
engineers who can foresee and manage the unknown and unexpected
problems. Engineers are expected to understand global issues, and
the nuances of working in a culturally diverse space. They are
expected to appreciate, more than before, the human dimensions of
emerging technologies. There are many questions, such as - Do I
take pride in designing a thing and manufacturing it, as I take
pride in packaging it? Are we cultivating the right kind of
engineering mindset? What must a general engineering toolkit
contain? Are there enough challenging jobs in the manufacturing
industry to attract good engineers? Is it right to allow the
creation of future elites who have augmented themselves with
artificial intelligence and genetic engineering, without inventing
a way to manage their superhuman abilities? Can there be better
engineering than life itself? Should we be optimistic about the
future of technology? Are we working harder than we are required to
work? Can technology improve work-life balance? Is society ready to
accept exponential development challenges? These, and many such
issues are the concerns of science, engineering, technology and
society. This book is an attempt to deliberate upon these issues
for the welfare of humankind. Note: T&F does not sell or
distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan,
Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. This title is co-published with New India
Publishing Agency.
