The Responsibilities of Engineering

In the past century, society and common people's lives have undergone significant changes, thanks to engineers' reformed and advanced technologies as well as their essential spirit of invention. Today, these respected engineers' footprints can still be traced anywhere: either those glittering neon lights that remind us, while flying above through a modernized city in the evening, of the achievements of electronic engineers; or those cloud-kissing buildings and sophisticated road networks which evokes us respects for civil engineers; or even the airplanes that we are taking and cars we are driving and that are also contributed to the efforts of mechanic engineers... All of the above tells us that engineers have established a close contact with people's daily work and life. In other words, the state of citizens' living and working conditions largely depend upon engineers' qualities, which are partly due to their professional knowledge and skills, and are partly due to their level of responsibility in the respect of the spiritual world.

In my opinion, the major responsibilities of engineers lie in service and inventions. First, engineering is a kind of trade of service. Workmen who take it up aim to contribute, to their utmost, their knowledge and skills to their post; manage to transfer their spiritual and intangible storage into real objects and provide citizens convenience as much as they can. It is no exaggeration that engineering means service, contribution and one achievement after another. The benefits of this work ethic have given us planes, cars and internets. Beside service, invention is essential for a complete engineer. As we progress, our living space must also be adapted to the changes in our society. These changes...

From the discussion above, it's not difficult to find that engineering is a job of cultivation. Engineers, on one hand, are making great efforts to reclaim and beautify their living environment and on the other, they are all the way cultivating their heart and nature culture. Maybe engineers can so much as being regarded as the wind vane of fashion. To be more exact, they can foresee fashion. They have acute inside and can tell what's the most fashionable next year, month or even day! Here below is an ode to respected engineers:

It's engineers who spread beauty from nation wide to world wide;

It's engineers who promote beauty from regional to international;

And it's engineers who promote beauty from inside, intangible to outside and real!
