Engineers' professional learning: Through the lens of practice; GlossaryThis book characterizes the technical and social aspects of engineering practice and to look at ways that this characterization can be important in the design of engineering courses in higher education. The principal contours of the work include the study of engineering practice and its relation to knowledge, competences and to cross-disciplinary and identity contexts. Empirical data on the practice of engineering professionals are presented from a range of companies in different national contexts, including engineering design companies and engineering innovation leaders--Provided by publisher.EngineeringSocial aspectsEngineeringStudy and teaching (Higher)EngineeringSocial aspects.EngineeringStudy and teaching (Higher)338.4/762338.4762TEC009000TEC009020TEC009070bisacshWilliams Bill1947-Figueiredo JoseTrevelyan James P.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787580903321Engineering practice in a global context3833646UNINA
