Abstract

Attacks by segments of society upon technology indicate that engineers have not effectively communicated their contributions to human welfare. Lowered enrollments reflect drops in recruitment, at the very time that many more engineers are needed to solve the problems being publicly discussed. Environmental engineering, systems engineering, and long-range planning bring the engineer into new communication problems in a direct working relationship with sociologists, landscape architects, and many other classes of people he seldom encountered before. At this point in time, engineering colleges have a duty to call to attention and help solve engineering problems in effective human communication. An example is given of one specific course designed with these needs in mind.
