In addition to the many technological changes in engineering, there are sociological changes that influence the way engineering is practiced today.

Some of these changes involve new dimensions in employment practices, public involvement in engineering decisions, and detailed environmental considerations. The profession, however, is facing the challenge and dealing with the social changes in a positive way.
