SPRING 2002 THE BENT OF TAU BETA PI 33 Genetic Engineering: A Challenge for Engineersby Robert L. Manning, New York Beta 49HE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE discussed inthis article transgenic biotechnology isvitally important and very complex. It hasgenerated heated controversy and some ex-treme reactions on both sides of the issue. Thepowerful biotechnology frequently referred toas Genetic engineering deserves the atten-tion of Engineers ; there are serious questionssurrounding its widespread application, particularly inthe case of products of transgenic biotechnology, thetransfer of genes between species. Naming this process engineering is, in my view, entirely inappropriate anda misreading of the true nature of that , as I believe most Engineers understandand practice it, involves the carefully calculated, respon-sible application of well-understood principles in accor-dance with established public and professional standardsto produce results that are both safe and beneficial tosoci
