Profession, Work and Social Context: Non-Technical Sections of Mechanical Engineering Education

Recent developmental strategies concerning education of engineers at technical universities across the world have implicated greater accent on cooperative knowledge systems. It has resulted in broadened scope of non-technical subjects and courses at technical universities' curriculums. While the general presumption is aimed to qualify engineers as able to act in unpredictable social environments and not just to "function" as well-educated performers – the implementation of reformed educational programs suggests relative ambiguity in acceptance of content and extent of non-technical topics. Article deals with actual non-technical courses at Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture at University of Zagreb. Its findings point at persuasive effects of intelectual distorsion that manifests itself in process of dealing with contradictory nature of estblished and achieved educational imperatives.
