Humanity: A Perspective that Mechanical Engineering Education should Observe - Teachings from The Analects of Confucius and Book of Changes

Abstract:

To show that humanity is a unique perspective that mechanical engineering education should observe, this paper relates to The Analects of Confucius and Book of Changes, holding that humanity is valuable in mechanical engineering education because humanity is a foundation, a facilitator as well as a destination of mechanical engineering education. Besides, humanity has unique functions in the development of mechanical engineering education, i.e., humanity evolves as a factor to guarantee a fine environment, can be seen as a lever to balance the relationship between nature and society and displays itself as a mirror to reflect the qualities of man and technology. In terms of the suggestions about practicing humanity in mechanical engineering education, the paper claims that it is necessary to obtain nourishments from other disciplines, regard seriously the traditional cultures, refer to the realistic demands of the society and put humanity in international context.
