在这项研究中，我们研究的方式，工程身份是通过语言构建的学生和专业工程师和他们的同事在实践中。借鉴詹姆斯·吉的工作，我们探讨话语反映和塑造工程工作的方式，从而工程身份，特别是在当地的背景下。特别是，我们探讨身份的多个维度在日常工作中相互作用的方式，通过研究当地环境提供的机构身份与社会过程中制定的话语身份相交的方式。旨在作为科学，技术和社会研究的补充，以及寻求跨工程身份的一般模式的写作研究，这对案例研究探讨了工程师描述和制定他们的工作不同的方式，以应对不同的地方制度和话语背景。Gee的框架关注在特定社会互动中构建的身份，通过关注工程师通过语言接受、抵制和颠覆各种身份的方式，使工程身份的讨论复杂化。
In this study, we examine the ways in which engineering identities are constructed through language by both student and professional engineers and their colleagues in practice. Drawing on the work of James Gee, we explore the ways that discourse both reflects and shapes engineering work, and thus engineering identity, in particular local contexts. In particular, we explore the ways multiple dimensions of identity interact in daily work by examining the ways institutional identities afforded by local contexts intersect with the discursive identities enacted in social processes. Intended as a complement to research in both science, technology, and society and writing studies that seeks general patterns of identity across engineering, this paired case study examines the ways in which engineers describe and enact their work differently in response to different local institutional and discursive contexts. Gee's framework, with its attention to identities as they are constructed in specific social interactions, helps complicate discussions of engineering identity by focusing on ways engineers accept, resist, and subvert a variety of identities through language.
