2. 1. Learning and Returning : Return Migration of Swedish Engineers from the United States, 1880-1940

   Author : Per-Olof Grönberg; Lars-Göran Tedebrand; Jonny Hjelm; Walker D. Wyman; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; History; emigration; return migration; engineers; technology transfer; Sweden; United States; industrialisation; electrical industry; steel and iron industry; mining; engineering industry; Historia; History subjects; Historieämnen; History; historia;

   Abstract : This thesis examines different aspects of international migration and return migration among Swedish engineers – particularly to and from the United States between 1880 and 1940. The social, geographical, and educational backgrounds of these engineers and their role in diffusing technological knowledge in Sweden in addition to being a possible source of technical development during the country’s second industrial breakthrough is of particular interest.

4. 2. Technology Carriers: The Role of Engineers in the Expanding Swedish Shipbuilding System

   Author : Lars O. Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; sociotechnical systems; shipbuilding; engineering education; 20-th century; user-producer interaction; professional associations; engineers; technological systems; technological knowledge; history of technology; systems of innovation; industrial research;

   Abstract : This study analyses the process which shaped the role or function of college-trained engineers within a technological system or innovation system during the period from the start of the 20th century until the 1950s and 1960s. With a conceptual framework of sociotechnical systems and of engineers as a social group of technology carriers this process is studied in one particular system, namely the Swedish shipbuilding system.

6. 4. Designing technical information : Challenges regarding service engineers’ information-seeking behaviour

   Author : Jonatan Lundin; Yvonne Eriksson; Jonas Löwgren; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Innovation and Design; innovation och design;

   Abstract : There is a gap of knowledge regarding relevant aspects of users’ information-seekingbehaviours. The research presented in this thesis aims at gaining a deeper knowledge about such behaviours and discussing the consequences the behaviours may have on the design practice of technical communicators when designing technical information during product development.

7. 5. Wicked Problems in Engineering Education : Preparing Future Engineers to Work for Sustainability

   Author : Johanna Lönngren; Magdalena Svanström; Åke Ingerman; Tom Adawi; John Holmberg; Marie Paretti; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; wicked problem; engineering education; sustainability; phenomenography; assessment; rubric; design-based research; action research; perspective shift; ill-structured problems; problem-solving; didactics of natural science; naturvetenskapens didaktik;

   Abstract : Most engineering education today does not adequately prepare students to contribute to sustainability. For example, engineering students often do not learn how to address complex and ill-structured sustainability problems that involve different stakeholders, value conflicts,and uncertainty; such problems are also called wicked problems.
