I am somewhat lost and confused as an engineering professor and practicing professional in today ’s society. The thrust of this dilemma is to focus our attention on a current and serious problem that should be the responsibility of all mature and thoughtful engineers who are concerned with the development of engineering in the next ten years and possibly set the goals for the next twenty or thirty years. It is always simpler to look back and determine where we have been but to chart what horizons we should strike out toward is the core of this “identity crisis”.

Abstract


I am somewhat lost and confused as an engineering professor and practicing professional in today ’s society. The thrust of this dilemma is to focus our attention on a current and serious problem that should be the responsibility of all mature and thoughtful engineers who are concerned with the development of engineering in the next ten years and possibly set the goals for the next twenty or thirty years. It is always simpler to look back and determine where we have been but to chart what horizons we should strike out toward is the core of this “identity crisis”.
