Yeyecoani

A yeyecoani is a scientist, engineer or a public figure with a STEM education who works in the Zacapine science-adjacent state organs, particularly the Secretariats of Science and Technology, Public Works and Energy. Politicians and other officials across multiple strata of the government and public life who gained notoriety or even direct career advancement through association with major engineering and infrastructure projects are also known as yeyecoaneh in lexicon of the Nahuatl speaking world. In Zacapican in particular, yeyecoaneh hold outsized political influence and status within society thanks to very close association of major engineering projects and technological accomplishments with national pride and shared identity, as well as the economic self-interest of Calpolli interest groups. Yeyecoani are synonymous with the Zacapine intelligentsia, within which formal training in engineering or the hard sciences claims greater prestige and public attention than those who are university-educated in cultural fields such as literary arts or the soft sciences such as psychology. The yeyecoani class are the creative counterpart to the Calpollist culture of industrial labor, generating the designs, schematics, plans and new technologies which are necessary to advance industrial manufacturing techniques and thereby protect the economic relevance of factory-calpolleh. The yeyecoaneh as a politically empowered strata of educated elites therefore contributes to the perpetuation of the calpollist socioeconomic system based on the industrial worker.
