ABSTRACT
Most engineering disciplines continue to make sense when divorced from the context of their application. You do not have to know that someone is working for a builder or a government department to judge the application of aerodynamics or circuit design. Aerodynamics and circuit design (and most other methods from the established engineering disciplines) are application neutral. The equations are the same no matter who applies them. They are grounded primarily in physics and mathematics, and we can judge much of their work by the standards of science.
