  Though the word cognitive has a wide range of meanings we define cognitive
engineering as learning from brain to bolster engineering solutions. However,
giving an achievable framework to the process towards this has been a difficult
task. In this work we take the classic data information knowledge wisdom (DIKW)
framework to set some achievable goals and sub-goals towards cognitive
engineering. A layered framework like DIKW aligns nicely with the layered
structure of pre-frontal cortex. And breaking the task into sub-tasks based on
the layers also makes it easier to start developmental endeavours towards
achieving the final goal of a brain-inspired system.
