📘 Overview
Engineering has always been more than just the construction of buildings or machines—it's a foundation for civilization itself. In this chapter, we explore the history of engineering from ancient to modern times, examine how technology has shaped society, and understand the role of engineers in both global and Nepali contexts.
This content is specially prepared for IOE students to support their understanding of Engineering Professional Practice and to assist with exam preparation.
👨👩👧👦 1. Man and Society
Engineers have contributed to the development of human civilization since ancient times. From building irrigation systems to designing advanced transportation networks, the work of engineers has transformed how people live, communicate, and grow.
Key Points:
-
Engineering as a response to human needs.
-
Engineers as problem-solvers and innovators.
-
Social responsibilities of engineers.
🔧 2. Technology and Society
Technology is a product of engineering—and it directly impacts how societies evolve. Every major technological breakthrough, from the invention of the wheel to artificial intelligence, brings both opportunities and challenges.
Key Points:
-
Positive impacts: improved healthcare, communication, transport, etc.
-
Negative effects: environmental degradation, job displacement.
