| Purpose: An introduction to the role of engineers in the context of their employment in industry and their interaction with the wider community is a key. In light of the current world economic and environmental crisis due in part to unsustainable development and poor financial planning, 21st Century engineers are faced with unprecedented challenges of developing a sustainable world in balance with the forces of nature to combat global environmental, social and economic crises. Engineers are required to have an understanding of the society around them including its laws and regulations. The development of the modern world has been dominated by science, engineering and technology and the role of the engineer is linked closely to the needs of society. Unfortunately engineers are either public relations shy or poor communicators of their incredible successes
