Human science consist in study of Man as an individual and his relationship with the environment and also the society. Concerning the engineering, in which the humanistic courses show themselves as an essential, such science have a great importance in the background of Engineering.

By getting touch with the human sciences, engineers are capable to create thinking culture beyond strictly exact knowledge, of reading not only technical books, of communication freely, of acquiring critical and structured conscience, and of assuming a human conscience, which is imperative for the action of the engineer.

So, it is obvious that engineers require both technical and human background which is harmonically combined. By inserting human science discipline in engineering curriculum as well as by relating the technical content with its social application and effect, it is possible to developed sosio-responsible professionals with greater ability to deal with people.
