Abstract

The basic point made here is there is no such thing as engineering knowledge simpliciter. What engineers need to know depends on what subfield of engineering they are working in? There is, however, a commonality among the various subdisciplines of engineering; it is a method revolving around the use of feedback loops. I argue that the use of feedback loops is common to all forms of human reasoning and it is the hallmark of rationality.
