Engineering, among the largest of the professions, has had a substantial impact on American government at nearly all levels. As the domain of government activity has increased and its programs become more complex, engineers have provided an important source of talent for the implementation and the management of wide-scale technical ventures. Engineering's oldest branch, civil engineering, has, since its beginnings, been closely associated with public technology; some of its newer branches, such as aeronautical engineering, depend heavily on governmental support. In this essay, I hope to provide a brief introduction to the engineering profession, examine some characteristics of engineering which influence its impact on government, and raise several issues which surround the role of engineers in the public service
