Globalization, Engineering, and Creativity [electronic resource] / by John Reader. - 1st ed. 2006. - VI, 57 p. online resource. - Synthesis Lectures on Engineers, Technology, & Society, 1933-3641 . - Synthesis Lectures on Engineers, Technology, & Society, .
Impacts of Globalization upon Engineering -- Who Runs Globalization? -- How to Interpret Globalization -- Prospects for Creativity.
The text addresses the impact of globalization within engineering, particularly on working practices and prospects for creativity. It suggests that accepted norms of economic activity create enclosures and thresholds within the profession, which-as engineers increase their awareness (reflexivity)-will shape the future of engineering, and the values which underpin it. It is aimed at practicing engineers and those in training and is an introduction to the social and political context currently setting new challenges for the profession.
