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. . | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | 关键词 | Professionalism; inventiveness; engineering education; state protection; civil service; operative work; re | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-57438-3 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-57440-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-57438-3 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
