Biology has inspired electronics from the very beginning: the machines that we now call computers are deeply rooted in biological metaphors.

Software engineering is understood as a broad term linking science, traditional en- neering, art and management and is additionally conditioned by social and external factors (conditioned to the point that brilliant engineering solutions based on strong science, showing artistic creativity and skillfully managed can still fail for reasons beyond the control of the development team).
