SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON ENGINEERING THE HUMAN S...

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.
