虽然这篇文章主要是关于在西方大部分地区普遍存在的“专业”的意义，但它解释了这个术语如何适用于任何国家（特别是工程专业与工程的功能，学科和职业的区别）。要做到这一点，我必须解释“专业”（在我喜欢的意义上）和另一个难以翻译的术语“道德规范”（在“工程道德规范”的表达中）之间的联系。要把工程（或任何其他职业）理解为一种职业，就必须对它采取某种概念，这种概念既不古老，也不普遍。有了这个概念，社会科学应该有可能回答标题中提出的问题。
Though this paper is mostly about a sense of “profession” common in much of the West, it explains how the term might apply in any country (especially how the profession of engineering differs from the function, discipline, and occupation of engineering). To do that, I have to explain the connection between “profession” (in my preferred sense) and another hard-to-translate term, “code of ethics” (in the sense it has in the expression “code of engineering ethics”). To understand engineering (or any other occupation) as a profession is to adopt a certain conception of it, one neither old nor (yet) universal. With that conception in hand, it should be possible for social science to answer the question posed in the title.
