What might it mean to aspire to the realization of a specifically engineering Bildung under conditions in which engineering has become a generative source for social-political and planetary disorder? Taking off from another effort to think engineering professionalism in engineering today, this chapter revisits the shift from pre-Enlightenment to Enlightenment concepts of Bildung, some of the boundary assumptions behind the notion of a possible engineering Bildung, and the mythopoeic engineer scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer as an exemplar of apocalyptic engineering Bildung.
