在澳大利亚对工程师进行的一项实证民族志调查，通过访谈和实地观察提供了证据，证明通过获得他人的自愿合作来协调技术工作是工程实践的一个主要方面。在本研究的背景下，技术协调意味着与他人合作并影响他人，使他们认真地按照双方商定的时间表完成必要的工作。虽然协调似乎是非技术性的，但分析提供的证据支持技术专长的关键重要性。协调通常涉及与上级、客户、同事、下属和外部人员的一对一关系。从一开始，协调其他人的工作似乎就很重要。
An empirical ethnographic survey of engineers using interviews and field observations in Australia provides evidence that coordinating technical work of other people by gaining their willing cooperation is a major aspect of engineering practice. Technical coordination in the context of this study means working with and influencing other people so they conscientiously perform necessary work to a mutually agreed schedule. While coordination seems to be non‐technical, analysis provides evidence supporting the critical importance of technical expertise. Coordination usually involves one‐on‐one relationships with superiors, clients, peers, subordinates, and outsiders. Coordinating the work of other people seems to be important from the start of an engineering career.
