Beschreibung:
This book aims to both characterize the technical and social aspects of engineering practice and to look at ways that this characterization can be important in the design of engineering courses in higher education. The principal contours of the work include the study of engineering practice and its relation to knowledge, competences and to cross-disciplinary and identity contexts. Empirical data on the practice of engineering professionals are presented from a range of companies in different national contexts, including engineering design companies and engineering innovation leaders.
On the historical nature of engineering practice. Towards a theoretical framework for engineering practice. The practical confrontation of engineers with a new design endeavour: The case of digital humanities. Engineering design teams: Considering the forests and the trees. Working together across disciplines. Engineering problem-solving in social contexts: 'Collective wisdom' and 'ba'. Finding workable solutions: Portuguese engineering experience. Going back to heterogeneous engineering: The case of micro and nanotechnologies. Professional lock-in: Structural engineers, architects and the disconnect between discourse and practice. Observations of South Asian engineering practice. Mathematics in engineering practice: Tacit trumps tangible. Engineers' professional learning: Through the lens of practice.
