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. 410 0$aSynthesis digital library of engineering and computer science. 410 0$aSynthesis lectures on engineering ;$v# 28.$x1939-523X 606 $aEngineering$xSocial aspects 610 $aagency 610 $aassumptions 610 $achange 610 $acommon good 610 $acommunication 610 $acommunity 610 $acontractualism 610 $aconstructivism 610 $aconsequentialism 610 $acurriculum 610 $aduty 610 $adevelopment 610 $aengineering 610 $aengineering education 610 $aenterprise 610 $aepistemology 610 $aethics 610 $aengineering ethics 610 $afear 610 $ahigher education 610 $ajudgement 610 $aknowledge 610 $alanguage 610 $alearning 610 $alearning organization 610 $alife-long learning 610 $amanagement 610 $amobility 610 $amorality 610 $aopen-system 610 $aclosed system 610 $aorganization 610 $athe person 610 $aperception 610 $aphilosophy 610 $aphilosophy of engineering 610 $aprofessional 610 $arealism 610 $areflection 610 $aresponsibilities 610 $arights 610 $aschema 610 $aself-management 610 $asocial system 610 $atransfer of learning 610 $ateam-work 610 $atechnological literacy 610 $atruth 610 $auniversity 610 $avirtues 610 $aways of thinking 610 $awork 610 $aworkforce 615 0$aEngineering$xSocial aspects. 676 $a620.0023 700 $aHeywood$b John$f1930-,$0845551 801 0$bCaBNVSL 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910160670003321 996 $aThe human side of engineering$92982742 997 $aUNINA
