A slice of what the interest is all about

Literally, Engi(o)sophy views engineering as a present continuous term, that is, a precisely creative process and philosophy as intricacies or principles. Therefore, Engi(o)sophy literally can be viewed as “continuum of intricacies”. By continuum, we mean continued improvement or modification of. Interestingly, Engi(o)sophy cuts across all disciplines saliently unveiling the practiced but not spelt out engineering and philosophy. The literal meaning of Engi(o)sophy is considered. In other words, Engi(o)sophy is unusually defining but rightly expressing philosophy and engineering in all endeavours of human existence.

• Historically, the new concept derives its name from the words “Engi” (as in Engineering), meaning ‘creative’ and (o)sophy (as in philosophy), meaning “wisdom”. Therefore, Engi(o)sophy is simply “creative wisdom”. It can be analyzed as:
Engineering + Philosophy = Engineering-Philosophy. However, considering the “fusion”, “Engi” + (o)sophy” = “Engi(o)sophy”, the surest possibility! Why the bracket signs on “o”, one of the spell-outs of Engi(o)sophy and why is it the surest possibility?

• Engi(o)sophy, as applied to human endeavours, is the theoretical equivalent of practice. The word “sophy” originates from the Greek word “sophia” meaning wisdom, precisely, theoretical wisdom. Irrespective of discipline, Engi(o)sophy is the theory of its practice.

• Engi(o)sophy is a pictured come-to-stay concept which asserts unequivocally the fact that all human disciplines (recognized and yet to come) are an appreciation of creative wisdom. As a matter of fact, they derive their source from the term “creative wisdom”. It is a fact that integrate all fields of human discipline to itself; having all disciplines answer the name Engi(o)sophy in its recognition because it is a translation of the (original) source of all human disciplines, creative wisdom. All disciplines are wisely created by man and are continually improved using time –influenced
