Possible hypothesis:
- philosophical assessment of the rule of the engineer over the past 2 centuries—see “Brunel” article.
- scientifically, very little quantifiable knowledge in 2006. Very little research. Some plants, some gasses.
- commercially, very little dissemination of the (little) available knowledge.
- 8. Student Recommendations
- — Future project or research work? What is needed, and in what field? Politics, ethics, education, science, economics etc. Comments on the current education system in Russia, promoting or limiting “change for the better”? Or other student opinion!
