This chapter synthesizes the anthology’s contributions to explore how the concept of Bildung becomes relevant as a response to evolving challenge perceptions in engineering education and practice. The authors of the various chapters rejuvenate the concept of Bildung in different ways, each shaped by their distinct perceptions of contemporary challenges. Drawing from diverse intellectual traditions, they highlight different aspects of the complex, situated sociotechnical challenges facing engineering today. This underscores that Bildung is a normative endeavor that can no longer assume a stable and independent environment. As Bildung enters the Anthropocene era, articulating its vision for engineering must involve an active reconfiguration of social norms and practices to foster good and just ways of life.
