What part of the humanities do you think would be helpful to engineers?
I so far hadn't seen anything that would be useful enough to make me not disdainfull of humanities, but i would be happy to be proven wrong.
- tarboreus 8y agoIdeally the humanities forces you to think about values and the why of things, not just the how. Not all goals are worth achieving...you can "change the world" and make it a worse place. More practically, the humanities teaches persuasion and rhetoric, in writing and in speaking, as well as reading between the lines when reading or listening. I work with engineers...kind of am one myself, though I was trained as a humanist...and I see them dashing themselves on those rocks on a weekly basis.
