An Inquiry about the Connection Between Engineering Work and the Military
I am an engineering student and currently having trouble on some ethical issues. My question is, "can any branch of engineering science be divorced from military?" I have seen some horrible statistics and I do not know whether all those deaths I see are the result of misusing engineering science or even engineers themselves. If someone were to ask you, "tell me one engineering technology that had not and is not used by the military" would you be able to name one? I certainly would not be able. As I mentioned earlier, I am a freshman and still in common core engineering but sooner or later, I'll have to decide which field I want to specialize. Please tell me there is even a single (little) branch of engineering that as nothing to do with wars and weapons
Thanks.
