Abstract [en]
The title of the book suggests that conversations between engineering, social sciences, and the humanities are important because ultimately the outcome of these conversations would have real world consequences in engineering education and practice. We feel assured that the contributions to this book will, in different ways, assist those who may be thinking about what needs to change or may be trying to implement projects for change in engineering education and practice. In this short introduction we cannot do full justice to the breadth of the contributions in this book. Rather we use it to address some key questions that arise from the contributions. These might provide a frame to help us deepen the conversations or at least begin to ask better questions and develop better approaches about how these conversations can be developed further.
