Abstract

This chapter introduces the theme and the chapters of the anthology. Inspired by the role the concept of Bildung has come to play in science education the chapter first seeks to provide responses to two fundamental questions, namely (1) what is the purpose of engaging in research on Bildung generally, and (2) what is the purpose of introducing the concept of Bildung in engineering education and practice particularly. For that purpose authors from anglo-saxon, skandinavian, francophone, and Chinese cultures discuss the relevance and challenges of this venture. The second part of this chapter briefly presents each contribution in its own right.
