This article discusses the disparity in recognition between scientists, engineers, and technologists, and the potential conflict that arises as a result. While breakthroughs in science and technology are often celebrated, the crucial role of engineering is often overlooked. Engineers are responsible for transforming scientific principles into practical solutions, and their work is essential in designing and manufacturing various products. Technologists also play a vital role in improving efficiency and bridging the gap between scientific concepts and practical implementation. The article argues that the three professions should recognize each other's unique capabilities and work together seamlessly. [Extracted from the article]

The article discusses the divide between engineers and engineering technologists in Pakistan and the debate over whether technologists should be registered with the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC). Some engineers argue that technologists should be registered because they work alongside engineers on projects and their inclusion would lead to faster development. However, others believe that technologists should not be part of the council as it would undermine the role of engineers. The article suggests that fear of losing control over decision-making and vested interests may be driving the opposition to registering technologists. [Extracted from the article]

THE TECHNOLOGISTS By Matthew Pearl [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Driving to the covered bazaar in the exotic western Indian town of Jodhpur last week, our Indian guide stopped to point out a modern landmark. ''Do you see that stoplight?'' he asked, pointing to a standard green-yellow-red stoplight in the busy intersection. ''It's the only stoplight in Jodhpur. There are 1.2 million people living here.'' The more you travel around India, the more you notice just how lightly the hand of government rests on this country. Somehow, it all sort of works. The traffic does move, but, for the first time in all my years visiting India, I've started to wonder whether India's ''good enough'' approach to government will really be good enough much longer. Huge corruption scandals have stripped the government of billions of dollars of needed resources, and, as much as I'm impressed by the innovative prowess of India's young technologists, without a government to enable them with the roads, ports, bandwidth, electricity, airports and smart regulations they need to thrive, they will never realize their full potential.
