Background
The engineering profession covers a wide range of technical focus and an even wider range of people. Management style, workplace satisfaction and standardization can be just as crucial to the development of new technologies and engineering practices as the innovations themselves. Education is crucial for the training of new engineers, and engineering ethics are essential for insuring that technology and engineering practice progresses in appropriate fashion. This category includes topics which pertain to the profession as a whole.
