Philosophy in Engineering

Philosophy in Engineering is a textbook for courses in philosophy of science for engineers. The book offers a broad perspective on the role of engineering in the 21st century and contributes to a critical reappraisal of engineering as a profession. The book thus approaches engineering from an inter- and metadisciplinary perspective encompassing historical, epistemological, ethical and global aspects of engineering. The main target groups are engineering students in their third year of study, teachers and researchers, practising engineers in general and people interested in the philosophy of technology.
