Abstract

LINSINGEN, Irlan von. Engineering curricula in university education: an overview taking into account social studies of science and technology. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2015, vol.21, n.45, pp.297-317. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.2015/lcv21n45.004.

Engineering education guided only by technical competence is problematized and educational transformation opportunities afforded by the sociocultural, sociotechnical and environmental dimensions of knowledge are treated, based on STS studies, postcolonial studies and critical education. A proposed academic structure for a new campus of the Federal University of Santa Catarina is presented, joining three axes that favor interactions between technical disciplines and the humanities throughout the training in specific disciplines and other curricular activities, seeking to reduce the abyssal separation between the technical and the sociocultural in engineering.

Keywords : Technological Education; STS Education; Curriculum; Sociotechnical Citizenship; STS Studies.
