While this book begins with the analysis of engineering as a
profession, it concentrates on a question that the last two decades
seem to have made critical: Is engineering one global profession
(like medicine) or many national or regional professions (like
law)? While science and technology studies (STS) have increasingly
taken an “empirical turn”, much of STS research is unclear
enough about the professional responsibility of engineers that STS
still tends to avoid the subject, leaving engineering ethics
without the empirical research needed to teach it as a global
profession. The philosophy of technology has tended to do the same.
This book’s intervention is to improve the way STS, as well as
the philosophy of technology, approaches the study of engineering.
This is work in the philosophy of engineering and the attempt to
understand engineering as a reasonable undertaking.
