Integrating Technical Governance Education into Engineer Education System:A Thinking Triggered by Role Turning from Engineers to Managers
From a global perspective,modern society has become a technological governance society that follows logic and principles of technological governance,and the backbone of the society of such a kind are naturally engineers,who for long ceased to be"engineers"specializing in bridge building and roads paving,have actually risen up to the broad stage of social governance as social managers.The existing education system for engineers has always favored the training of engineers with professional skills,and only in recent years the focus has also been put on the cultivation of engineers'professional ethics and sense of responsibility,and has achieved de-sired results.However,more efforts have to be made in this respect.If the established engineer education system goes on,it may not only restrict their theoretical vision,but also work compe-tence of our future engineers.Therefore,there is an urgent need to integrate technical govern-ance education into engineer education system.
