This second companion volume on engineering studies considers
engineering practice including contextual analyses of engineering
identity, epistemologies and values. Key overlapping questions
examine such issues as an engineering identity, engineering
self-understandings enacted in the professional world, distinctive
characters of engineering knowledge and how engineering science and
engineering design interact in practice. Authors bring with them
perspectives from their institutional homes in Europe, North
America, Australia\ and Asia. The volume includes 24 contributions
by more than 30 authors from engineering, the social sciences and
the humanities. Additional issues the chapters scrutinize include
prominent norms of engineering, how they interact with the values
of efficiency or environmental sustainability. A concluding set of
articles considers the meaning of context more generally by asking
if engineers create their own contexts or are they created by
contexts. Taken as a whole, this collection of original scholarly
work is unique in its broad, multidisciplinary consideration of the
changing character of engineering practice.
