In his book, pending between history and sociology, on engineers in
thirteen countries of the western part of Europe, Professor Rolf
Torstendahl approaches the development from around 1850 up to the
present situation from different angles. - One examines the
educational patterns and the author shows how widely different
types of formation of engineers existed in Britain, France and
Germany in the early period. They were paradigmatic for other
countries. Differences remain but patterns have gradually become
similar. - From another angle the author makes professional
organisations of engineers a main object of study, and they vary
from alumni associations to powerful lobby organisations. - A third
approach in the book is to examine engineers versus sociological
theories of professionalism on the one hand and theories of
managerialism on the other. In the last chapter the author also
discusses topics like technocracy and the responsibility of
engineers.
