摘要:
In contrast to mathematics and science, where the history of the disciplines has long found a place in university curricula, the history of technology does not feature in many European engineering degrees. This paper will consider the pedagogical potential of the history of technology, with reference to four historical case studies. It is argued that the inclusion of such elements in engineering programmes can (a) give conventional students a vital broader perspective on their subjects and (b) improve the attractiveness of technology to those who would not normally consider it as an object of study.
