Book launch ‘Philosophy and engineering. An emerging agenda’
Location: Royal Institute of Engineers, KIVI NIRIA, Prinsessegracht 23, Den Haag
Date & time: 1 April 2010, 14.30-18.00
Language: English
What has philosophy to do with engineering? Engineering is about numbers, hard science and tangible constructions with no room for vague philosophical discussions, or isn’t it? Engineering is also about creativity, innovation, values and improving the world. On the occasion of the appearance of the book Philosophy and engineering, an emerging agenda, two renowned engineers will be speaking about why they think that philosophy matters for engineers. David E. Goldberg is Jerry S. Dobrovolny Distinguished Professor of Entrepreneurial Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and a world leader in genetic algorithms. He is also co-founder and co-director of the Illinois Foundry for Innovation in Engineering Education (iFoundry). Recently his attention has turned to the intersection of philosophy and engineering and he is co-editor of the book that will be launched. Sybrand van der Zwaag is professor of novel aerospace materials at TU Delft. He is involved in teaching engineering ethics and contributed to the book. Patricia Osseweijer (professor science communication TU Delft and KIVI NIRIA) and Jeroen van den Hoven (professor moral philosophy TU Delft and scientific director 3TU.Centre for Ethics and Technology) will comment on their presentations. President Jan Dekker of KIVI NIRIA will receive a copy of the book.
