Engineering for society and knowledge
Philosophy and engineering: reciprocal contributions

In philosophy, the epistemological question is: "How can we produce true knowledge of the world? If science seeks to answer the question "to know what", engineering seeks to answer the question "to know how". If, on the one hand, science appears as the privileged domain of the possibility of knowledge of the world, engineering, on the other hand, by pursuing its practical ends, could be considered on the margins of this quest for true knowledge of the world. Nevertheless, engineering plays an important role in this knowledge. Today, it even tends to merge with science.
