Is Engineering Generally Regarded as a Profession ?
- What do outsiders think of it ?
- What do Engineers think of it ?
The public’s perception of Engineering’s importance is dependent on the services performed
- How do we compare to the medical and legal professions?
A General Concern
- Credit deserved by engineering mistakenly given to science
- A proposed corrective action : Educate the public
- A better approach :
- Increase “Service-to-the-Public” consciousness in engineers
- Make engineering a genuine service function - not a self-serving activity.
