  This paper deals with the arrow of complexification of engineering. We claim
that the complexification of engineering consists in (a) that shift throughout
which engineering becomes a science; thus it ceases to be a (mere) praxis or
profession; (b) becoming a science, engineering can be considered as one of the
sciences of complexity. In reality, the complexification of engineering is the
process by which engineering can be studied, achieved and understood in terms
of knowledge, and not of goods and services any longer. Complex engineered
systems and bio-inspired engineering are so far the two expressions of a
complex engineering.
