CHAPTER 1
Introduction To
Engineering In Society
BY:PN MAYA SOFA BINTI ISMAIL
Defining the contribution
of engineering to society

• Engineering turns science and

technology into something tangible
and useful to society.
• It is applied in creating various
structures, home appliances and
other infrastructures and equipment,
which make human lives safe and
convenient.
 What does engineering
have to do with
science and technology?

• Engineering is creating something

based on a request from society.
• Engineering is creating a complete
product by using scientific
knowledge and technology, which is
the skill of creating something.
• Engineering that is directly applied
to society
 How are engineering and society related
• Engineering is creating something based on a
request from society.
• Engineering is creating a complete product by
using scientific knowledge and technology,
which is the skill of creating something.
• They use the knowledge they have within a
specific industry in order to make things work
and solve problems, whether this be with
transport, medicine, entertainment, space or
the environment
Show engineering development in a society

• Engineers develop new technological

solutions.
• Engineering develop tools and technology
to adapt our environment to meet our
needs.
• Engineers contribute to the development of
many innovations that improve life in
society.
Demonstrate social, economic and industrial
development issue in Malaysia

• Malaysia is a major producer of rubber and palm

oil, exports considerable quantities of petroleum
and natural gas, and is one of the world’s largest
sources of commercial hardwoods
• Increasingly, however, Malaysia has emphasized
export-oriented manufacturing to fuel its
economic growth, particularly electronics and
semiconductors, which constitute about 90% of
exports.

Demonstrate social, economic and industrial
development issue in Malaysia
• COVID-19 in Malaysia: Economic Impacts
• There's no doubt that the coronavirus pandemic has resulted
in great change for all industries and employers and the
engineering sector is no exception.
• Engineers have stepped up to the challenge through the
development and manufacture of ventilators and PPE, the
conversion of conference centres into hospitals, the speeding
up of COVID testing and tracking and searching for a vaccine.
• The effects of the pandemic are expected to impact
industries for years to come, engineers have demonstrated
their expertise, agility and innovation and lessons learned
from the crisis will continue to in form the recovery and
mitigate against future outbreak.
Demonstrate social, economic
and industrial development issue
in Malaysia

• Engineering, manufacturing
and technology provide a
breadth of exciting careers
that can bring job security
alongside societal value.
• For example thousands of jobs
in new infrastructure,
maintenance projects that will
upgrade our hospitals, schools
and road network, make
public buildings greener and
more safety facility for society.
Share the history
of engineering

The concept of engineering has existed

since ancient times as humans devised
fundamental inventions such as the
pulley, lever, and wheel. Each of these
inventions is consistent with the
modern definition of engineering,
exploiting basic mechanical principles
to develop useful tools and objects.
 Execute the role of engineering in society
• Engineering is one of the key influences that shapes our society.
• Engineers don’t just work with machines, designs and electronics, they use
maths and science to provide innovation and inventions that shape our
society and improve the way we live and work.
• This means that engineers have a responsibility and also a great
opportunity to ensure that the have a positive influence in society.

 Apply the responsibilities of an engineer in an
organization
• During the engineering design process,
the responsibilities of the engineer may include:
– defining problems,
– conducting
– narrowing research
– analyzing criteria
– finding
– analyzing solutions
– making decisions.
Execute engineer’s
responsibility for organization

• Social responsibilities are a part of all professions. The

profession of engineering is no different.
• The social responsibilities of engineers include human safety
and environmental protection in engineering designs.
• The professional social responsibilities of engineers vary
across different countries/cultures, engineering disciplines
(e.g., mechanical versus environmental engineers) and by
gender.
