This book presents a critical examination of conversations between
engineering, social sciences, and the humanities asking whether
their conversations have come of age. These conversations are
important because ultimately their outcome have real world
consequences in engineering education and practice, and for the
social and material world we inhabit. Taken together the 21
chapters provide scholarly-argued responses to the following
questions. Why are these conversations important for engineering,
for social sciences, and for the humanities? Are there key places
in practice, in the curriculum, and in institutions where these
conversations can develop best? What are the barriers to successful
conversations? What proposals can be made for deepening these
conversations for the future? How would we know that the
conversations have come of age, and who gets to decide? The book
appeals to scholarly audiences that come together through their
work in engineering education and practice. The chapters of the
book probes and access the meetings and conversations, and they
explore new avenues for strengthening dialogues that transcend
narrow disciplinary confines and divisions. "The volume offers a
rich collection of descriptive resources and theoretical tools that
will be useful for researchers of engineering practices, and for
those aiming to reshape the engineering lifeworld through new
policies. The book depicts the current state of the art of the most
visible SSH contributions to shaping engineering practices, as well
as a map of research gaps and policy problems that still need to be
explored." - Dr. Ir. Lavinia Marin, TU Delft, Electrical
Engineering and Philosophy
