New Profession, Old Order is an exploration of the creative tension
between modern technology and preindustrial Germany. It
concentrates on the social and educational history of engineers as
a microcosm of the larger society between 1815 and 1914, and asks
why this new occupation, so successful in transforming the physical
world, did not achieve the professional power, cohesion and
prestige that its technological accomplishments would seem to have
warranted. The author proposes answers that center on the
historical situation in which the engineering profession found
itself. He develops his thesis through careful consideration of the
strategies, organization, and development of technical education in
nineteenth-century Prussia, the educational struggles and political
debates of German engineers and their various associations,
changing career prospects, and the relations between engineering
management, salaried employees, professionalizers, and government.
The result is a study that demonstrates the seamless links between
Germany's long-term socioeconomic modernization and its temporary
political traumatization.
