在这篇文章中，我们探讨了四名参加瑞典机械工程项目的工薪阶层男性学生所做的认同工作，重点是他们参与项目工作的情况。事实证明，关注个人如何谈判他们对科学和技术学科的参与，是研究这些学科的包容和排斥的一种有价值的方式。这在工程教育中尤其重要，因为人们普遍认为，需要改变，以吸引新的学生群体，并向学生提供适合未来社会的知识。在本研究中，我们将同一性概念化为社会和话语产生的同一性，并重点追踪学生的同一性轨迹。实证数据包括课堂上的民族志田野笔记、项目工作的录像、半结构化访谈和学生录制的录像日记。研究结果表明，尽管所有四名学生都毫不犹豫地联想到了他们所选择的专业的技术男子气概，但要将项目工作纳入他们的工程轨迹，还需要付出相当大的努力。此外，在高等工科教育中产生的“幼稚”男子气概也给其中一名受访学生带来了“麻烦”的身份轨迹。
In this article, we explore the identity work done by four male, working-class students who participate in a Swedish mechanical engineering program, with a focus on their participation in project work. A focus on how individuals negotiate their participation in science and technology disciplines has proven to be a valuable way to study inclusion and exclusion in such disciplines. This is of particular relevance in engineering education where it is widely argued that change is needed in order to attract new groups of students and provide students with knowledge appropriate for the future society. In this study we conceptualized identity as socially and discursively produced, and focus on tracing students’ identity trajectories. The empirical data consists of ethnographic field notes from lectures, video-recordings of project work, semi-structured interviews, and video-diaries recorded by the students. The findings show that even though all four students unproblematically associate with the ‘technicist’ masculinity of their chosen program it takes considerable work to incorporate the project work into their engineering trajectories. Further, ‘laddish’ masculinities re/produced in higher education in engineering also contribute to a ‘troubled’ identity trajectory for one of the interviewed students.
