Abstract

This contribution reflects the views on the trends of unification of science and engineering domains motivated by societal needs. The benefits and feasibility of promoting the convergence for advancing society progress as well as creativity in scientific and engineering are discussed, especially with the perspectives from developing economies. The heterogeneity in scientific and engineering disciplines as well as societal priorities should be balanced with systematic analysis during decision-making process.
