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--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aEngineering$xSocial aspects 606 $aEngineering$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 615 0$aEngineering$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aEngineering$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 676 $a338.4/762 676 $a338.4762 686 $aTEC009000$aTEC009020$aTEC009070$2bisacsh 702 $aWilliams$b Bill$f1947- 702 $aFigueiredo$b Jose 702 $aTrevelyan$b James P. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787580903321 996 $aEngineering practice in a global context$93833646 997 $aUNINA
