Sažetak
Modern technical civilization, which is based on technically educated experts, uses technological determinism as the most efficient method for solving problems. However, many analysts warn that technological determinism might have fatal consequences. Civil engineers - being a part of the technical intelligentsia - produce living conditions for modern people because they build various settlements and infrastructure. Furthermore, they work with large groups of employees who have different levels of education. Therefore, civil engineers need to know how to interact with and motivate different groups of people. This requires knowledge about human behavior. Finally, scientific investigations about workplace organization in civil engineering are very scarce, and this field is still open for further research. For these reasons, this article will argue that social sciences should be an integral part in civil engineering education.
