Beschreibung
The auto-summaries have been generated by a recursive clustering algorithm via the Dimensions Auto-summarizer by Digital Science handled by Subject Matter Experts and the author(s) of this book. The author(s) of this book selected which SN content should be auto-summarized and decided its order of appearance. Please be aware that these are abstractive auto-summaries, which creates new text based on deep learning. New phrases are created to summarize the content. As the constituted sentences are machine selected, they may not fully reflect the body of the work, so we strongly advise that the original content is read and cited. The auto-generated summaries were curated by the author to meet Springer Nature publication standards.
This book takes the point of departure of how engineering education shapes engineering identity via knowledge transfer and technology diffusion practice. The theoretical inspiration anchors in the notion of “epistemic mobility” in that transnational engineering education can be seen as knowledge-making on the move. With this “hypothesis” in mind, the book identifies a theoretical gap regarding whether engineering education is an epistemic phenomenon.
It also explores the theoretical challenge of whether book can be regarded as “pragmatic,” as whether the notion of knowledge transfer – an economic term in general – can be appropriated with social and anthropological meanings. Hence, the development of engineering identity can be interpreted with such a cultural approach. This shapes a foundation to improve the understanding of engineering education with knowledge transfer and technology diffusion within and across universities and the broader society. Particularly, it fills the gap of seeing transitional engineering education in both global and local contexts.
The book concludes that engineering education, knowledge transfer, and technology diffusion are “praxis” rather than merely “practice.” Praxis combines practice with reflections, leading to learning. Regarding transnational engineering education, such praxis is situated in the milieu of epistemic mobility. In this regard, this book makes synthetic sense of these domains in a transdisciplinary approach.

This is a machine-generated literature overview of engineering education from a knowledge transfer perspective Fills gaps in interpreting how engineering identity can be nurtured through a cultural approach Provides a value proposition for how engineering practice makes sense in different ways, spaces, and places
