Every science has its branch of engineering. Physics has Physical engineering, Comp Sci has software development, physiology has medicine.

What's the equivilent branch of engineering for sociology or social pyschology? I can think of: Propaganda/public relations/advertising, group and crowd control, realpolitik, etc.

Nothing too good in a general sense.

More importantly, every science has its branch(es) of bias and hard sciences are no exception.
