Sociology is defined as the scientific study of social behavior and human groups according to R.T. Schaefer, and the discovery of natural and invariable laws governing society according to Auguste Comte. As an engineering student, studying sociology is important to understand society's needs and problems in order to design effective solutions, and to maintain good relationships with colleagues in work environments involving many types of people. The evolution of technology has profound implications on family structures, work relations, settlement patterns, and economic and political power configurations, as well as behavior patterns and value systems. For computer science students, sociology is important to develop applications and websites that meet social needs, understand diverse customer demands and behaviors, and effectively lead teams

Definition of sociology
According to R.T. Schaefer
“Sociology is the scientific study of social behavior and human groups” According to Auguste Comte “Sociology is “subject to natural and invariable laws, the discovery of which is the objective of investigation. Why Should We Study Sociology as a Student of Engineering As a student of engineering, we need to study sociology. It’s really important because engineers have to deal with the society. We have to understand society needs and design our plans to solve society problems and needs. Sometimes we will have to spend most of the time in company, factory, industry where we work with many types of colleagues. Sociological knowledge will help us to maintain good collegiality. Definition of Sociology and Engineering Sociology means the systematic study of the development, structure, interaction and collective behaviour of organized groups of humans. On the other hand, engineering is all about the application of science and math by which the properties of matter and the sources of energy in nature are made useful to people.
Interaction between the Evolution of Technology in Engineering and
Society The interaction between the evolution of technology and the development of economy and society has always been important dimension of human history. The transition from the agricultural society towards the industrial society provides the most pertinent illustration of the profound implications which the full diffusion of new technologies can have on following points:- 1. Family structures 2. Work relations 3. Settlement patterns 4. Economic power configuration 5. Political power configuration 6. Behaviour patterns 7. Value systems What is the importance of studying Sociology for me as a student of Computer Science and Engineering? 1. If I have to make an app or develop kind of website, I have to think about social need. I have to think about what the society needs right now or what’s treading. As sociology discuss about the flow of the society and talks about the needs of society so it’s really important for me to study sociology. 2. When I have to deal with a customer for an app of website or any kind of technology related product, I have to think about the customer satisfaction and what the customer needs. I have to deliver the product that is suitable for the customer that I’m working with. Not every customer will have same demand and type of work. So I have to take the customers behavior and demand to consideration and have to do my work according to that. As sociology discusses about how human behaves in society and also discuss about their needs, so it’s important for me to study sociology. 3. If I recruit some employee for any kind of projects of mine or put up an IT farm where I have to work with many kind of people, I have to think about how I can be a good leader and bring the best out my employee. I have to understand their needs and also have to take precautions so that they can give the best and increase productivity. Sociology will help me to become an efficient leader and will help me to work with bunch of people. 4. After completing my degree in CSE I have to go out and explore the world and have to deal with the society. I have to work with or under various kinds of people. Sociology will help me to work along them and will help me to come up with the society
