These conversations are important because ultimately their outcome have real world consequences in engineering education and practice, and for the social and material world we inhabit. Taken together the 21 chapters provide scholarly-argued responses to the following questions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy are these conversations important for engineering, for social sciences, and for the humanities?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAre there key places in practice, in the curriculum, and in institutions where these conversations can develop best?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat are the barriers to successful conversations?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat proposals can be made for deepening these conversations for the future?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow would we know that the conversations have come of age, and who gets to decide?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book appeals toscholarly audiences that come together through their work in engineering education and practice.

The book depicts the current state of the art of the most visible SSH contributions to shaping engineering practices, as well as a map of research gaps and policy problems that still need to be explored.\"\u003c\/i\u003e - Dr. Ir.
