Carl Mitcham in1994 anchored the consideration of social responsibility into engineering practice and profession.By framing engineering as a social enterprise, he argued that the integration of socialconsiderations is inherent to engineering practice is required to better equipped modern-dayengineers with capacity to solve not only technical challenges but social and ethical ones as well[5].
