In literature, the term "engineering" is employed with remarkable versatility, often serving as both a literal descriptor of technical and structural endeavors and as a metaphor for systematic problem-solving and social organization. For instance, historical narratives document concrete feats of engineering—from military and civil projects detailed in accounts like those of Paramahansa Yogananda ([1], [2]) and Mark Twain ([3], [4])—to the precise laboratory of technical ingenuity highlighted in descriptions of bridges, tunnels, and buildings ([5], [6], [7]). At the same time, the term takes on a more abstract or even subversive twist in works like Cory Doctorow’s, where "social engineering" underscores modern vulnerabilities ([8]), and in novels such as E. Nesbit’s, where engineering marvels evoke both admiration and aesthetic pleasure ([9]). This multiplicity of uses illustrates how literature not only chronicles the evolution of engineering as a practical discipline but also reimagines its influence on society, storytelling, and intellectual culture.
