Contents:
Preface and Acknowledgments -- What Are Korean Engineers For -- Five Koreas Without Korean Engineers: 1876-1960 -- Technical Workers for Light Industry: 1961-1970 -- Engineers for Heavy and Chemical Industries: 1970-1979 -- Loss of Privilege and Visibility: 1980-1998 -- Engineers for a Post-Catch-Up Korea? -- Engineers and Korea -- Index -- Author Biographies .
In: Springer Nature eBookSummary: This book follows the fraught attempts of engineers to identify with Korea as a whole. It is for engineers, both Korean and non-Korean, who seek to become better critical analysts of their own expertise, identities, and commitments. It is for non-engineers who encounter or are affected by Korean engineers and engineering, and want to understand and engage them. It is for researchers who serve as critical participants in the making of engineers and puzzle over the contents and effects of techno-national formation.
