This paper proposes we have to go one step further from Knowledge Engineering and develop Wisdom Engineering in order to cope with the very frequently and extensively changing environments and situations. In order to respond quickly and adaptively to such changes, knowledge should be processed more dynamically. Emotion plays an important role for this purpose in sensing and in making decisions. Further, our world is changing from Closed World to Open World. In a Closed World, experience can be accumulated and is structured into knowledge and the logic of induction and deduction can be applied. But in an Open World, decisions must be made by trials and errors by interacting with the outer world. As the fact emotion comes from the Latin word, movere, it literally means to move out or to act toward the outer world. Motivation comes from the same Latin word. Thus, motivation-action-emotion constitutes a cycle and it plays an important role in trials and errors and in producing dynamic knowledge. Wisdom Engineering is as an integration of Emotion Engineering and Knowledge Engineering and it produces dynamic knowledge, which enables us to interact with the frequent and extensive changes of the outer world more wisely and adaptively and to explore the new frontiers in an Open World.
