Engineering Studies

 
First panel discussion, “Situating Engineering Studies within History of Science, Technology, and Medicine,” with:

• Cyrus Mody, Professor in the History of Science, Technology, and Innovation, Maastricht University (Netherlands)
• Trisha Tschopp, PhD Candidate in History and Science Studies, University of California San Diego (United States)
• Heidi Voskuhl, Associate Professor and Graduate Chair, History and Sociology of Science, University of Pennsylvania (United States)

 
In the growing field of engineering studies, historians, anthropologists, sociologists, engineering educators, and other science and technology studies scholars center engineers and engineering as their subjects of analysis. This inaugural session of the Engineering Studies working group asks where such scholarship fits in the history of science, technology, and medicine. Via a panel discussion and community conversation we will explore the internationalization of engineering studies, its disciplinary boundary crossings, its emerging trends, and its future directions.
