1. Den raka och den krokiga vägen : om genus, ingenjörer och teknikkarriärer
Sammanfattning : Abstract The purpose of this doctoral thesis is to shed light on, explain, and problematize women’s and men’s paths both to and within the profession of engineer. Computer and mechanical engineers are in focus and the overarching issues that this thesis attempts to answer are: How can women’s and men’s paths to the profession of engineer be explained and what has governed/motivated their choice of education? How do women’s and men’s career patterns look in professional life, and how can these patterns be explained? This study is based on a social-constructivistic approach, entailing a focus on how choices of education and profession have been negotiated through social and cultural practices, norms, and values.

2. Learning and Returning : Return Migration of Swedish Engineers from the United States, 1880-1940
Sammanfattning : This thesis examines different aspects of international migration and return migration among Swedish engineers – particularly to and from the United States between 1880 and 1940. The social, geographical, and educational backgrounds of these engineers and their role in diffusing technological knowledge in Sweden in addition to being a possible source of technical development during the country’s second industrial breakthrough is of particular interest.

3. Technology Carriers: The Role of Engineers in the Expanding Swedish Shipbuilding System
Sammanfattning : This study analyses the process which shaped the role or function of college-trained engineers within a technological system or innovation system during the period from the start of the 20th century until the 1950s and 1960s. With a conceptual framework of sociotechnical systems and of engineers as a social group of technology carriers this process is studied in one particular system, namely the Swedish shipbuilding system.

4. Collaborative product development and IT communication infrastructures : a study in the Swedish aerospace industry
Sammanfattning : Internet och internetrelaterad teknik, framför allt webbaserad, ger nya möjligheter att kommunicera mellan geografiskt spridda företag. Det här licentiatprojektet, som studerar produktutveckling av komplexa system i flygindustrin, har följande tre mål:Att studera behov av IT-stöd för kommunikation mellan parter i samarbetsprojekt inom komplex systemutveckling,Att uppskatta användningen av webbaserade kommunikationslösningar mellan parterna, ochAtt föreslå en modell för att analysera effekter av att använda internet och webbaserad kommunikation.

5. Designing technical information : Challenges regarding service engineers’ information-seeking behaviour
Sammanfattning : There is a gap of knowledge regarding relevant aspects of users’ information-seekingbehaviours. The research presented in this thesis aims at gaining a deeper knowledge about such behaviours and discussing the consequences the behaviours may have on the design practice of technical communicators when designing technical information during product development.
