这篇文章考察了美国工程师是如何在1893年至1920年期间不断变化的结构条件和霸权男子气概的背景下构建他们的职业的。工程的职业化和工程从业者与学院之间的联系在这一时期形成。与此同时，在工作场所构建强大的男性自我认同的条件也在发生变化。工程师在专业出版物《工程新闻》、工程教育促进会年度会议论文集和两本职业指导书籍(均为1893-1920年期间)上发表的关于其所在领域的反思性和信息量丰富的文章记录了工程师如何将他们的职业建设为男性职业。
This article examines howU.S. engineers constructed their profession within the context of changing structural conditions and hegemonic masculinity between 1893 and 1920. The professionalization of engineering and the linkages between engineering practitioners and colleges were forged during this period. At the same time, conditions for the construction of a powerful masculine self-identity in the workplace were also changing. Engineers’reflective and informative writings about their field in the professional publication Engineering News, the Proceedings of the annual conferences of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education, and two career guidance books (all from the 1893–1920 period) document how engineers constructed their profession as a masculine one.
