Extending meaning of Engineering

Happy Engineers day to all of you, a mild reminder to all engineers who have left the profession in literal sense but still hold the ethos of being engineers...it's good to see the various forms of engineering is coming up hitherto not so much in discourse. Social engineers , political engineers , economic engineers, cultural engineers and what not are now becoming more vocal in all walks...the very idea of engine is not confined to hardware but permeating towards socioeconomic ware. Only need is to uphold the sanctity of engineering ethics which looks for impassioned reasoning rather being fraught with narrow outlooks. Some of political entrepreneurs did use their skills to engineer society and ensured better bargaining power as Dr Ambedkar for Dalits, Nelson Mandela for apartheid etc. However, the present trend of hijacking culture by some of assertive big organisations by deploying violent "polytechnic cultural machonics or electrucians " like gaurakshaks or senas is definitely very much worrisome. They are the same who vindicate bane part in  the debate of "science(engineering) is boon or bane".  Now there is  ever increased need to finesse the engineering analytical skills, tools to devise better socioeconomic machineries for betterment of society. Hardware engineers have given so much comforting ecology , why can't socio- software engineers to do same for better socio-cultural ecology.😀
