ENGINEERING IN REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT: A STUDY OF THE ROLE OF THE ENGINEER IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BRAZILIAN NORTHEAST

Abstract

The history of engineering in international development is illustrated by the development problems of the Brazilian Northeast. The factors that went into the development of the concept of regionalism in the Northeast are discussed. The author describes the two faces of economic planning--a story that recounts the rise and fall of the engineer in regional planning. The role of the engineer in regional planning is examined and shows that with his inclusion, a somewhat different, perhaps new, regional concept is defined--a region for implementation as opposed to a region for planning.
