In a world permeated by digital technology, engineering is involved
in every aspect of human life. Engineers address a wider range of
design problems than ever before, raising new questions and
challenges regarding their work, as boundaries between engineering,
management, politics, education and art disappear in the face of
comprehensive socio-technical systems. It is therefore necessary to
review our understanding of engineering practice, expertise and
responsibility. This book advances the idea that the future of
engineering will not be driven by a static view of a closed
discipline, but rather will result from a continuous dialogue
between different stakeholders involved in the design and
application of technical artefacts. Based on papers presented at
the 2016 conference of the forum for Philosophy, Engineering and
Technology (fPET) in Nuremberg, Germany, the book features
contributions by philosophers, engineers and managers from academia
and industry, who discuss current and upcoming issues in
engineering from a wide variety of different perspectives. They
cover topics such as problem solving strategies and value-sensitive
design, experimentation and simulation, engineering knowledge and
education, interdisciplinary collaboration, sustainability, risk
and privacy. The different contributions in combination draw a
comprehensive picture of efforts worldwide to come to terms with
engineering, its foundations in philosophy, the ethical problems it
causes, and its effect on the ongoing development of society.
This book gives insight into the ongoing work of the forum on
Philosophy, Engineering and Technology (fPET), which brings
together philosophers and engineers from all over the world to
discuss philosophical issues of engineering across disciplinary
boundaries. Drawing on presentations and conversations at the fPET
2020 online conference hosted by the Universidad Tecnica Federico
Santa Maria in Chile, the chapters establish connections and
describe discoveries that have so far been neglected in the
discussions held within the young discipline of philosophy of
engineering. This volume appeals to students and researchers in the
field, through twenty-four proposals brought forward by leading
scholars and emerging voices. Pertinent themes covered are: the
broader engagement of engineers in problem-solving beyond the scope
of their own profession the exploration of new goals for technology
development and the implementation of strategies to reach these
goals the need for philosophical content and unique pedagogical
approaches to engineering education, digital transformations,
artificial intelligence and the ethics of online collaboration in
social media critical revisions of fundamental terminology and
theoretical modelling of key concepts in engineering design,
ethics, innovation and the anthropology of technology
Open labs provide spaces for interaction across organizational
boundaries. They create a huge potential to advance innovation
processes. Making use of this potential, however, is not an easy
task. It requires diligence, sophistication and perseverance from
everyone involved in the implementation and the management of the
lab. This book brings together contributions from leading experts
in engineering, design, strategy, foresight and marketing research
as well as policy makers and practitioners from an open lab. It
explores from different perspectives how open labs can be used to
facilitate innovation and what needs to be done to make the
operation of an open lab successful. The topics addressed in the
book include: interaction patterns and mediation in open labs,
innovation technology, resource management, ecosystem and platform
design, cultural translation, productivity, multi-channel
communication, and more. The first part of the book is dedicated to
the study of JOSEPHS (R), an open lab in Germany. It gives insight
in the practical challenges of running an open lab and its role in
the local business ecosystem. The other parts of the book discuss
the phenomenon of open labs in general and its significance in
different contexts all around the world.
