독일 엔지니어 집단의 분화와 정체성: 1870년~1930년

Abstract

The development of electrical and chemical industry in Germany resulted in the growth of industrial engineers who were trained in Technische Hochschulen and employed in the firms. With the increasing number of industrial engineers, interests of engineers were diversified and there appeared various engineer associations. While the association of german electrical engineers(VDE) and the association of german chemists (VDC) appealed to engineers to contribute their ability to the national wealth, the new engineer organizations such as VDDI or Butib pointed the professional interests of engineers. The VDDI tried to separate labour market for the diplom engineers from the market for the technicians with the state certification of the diplom degree. The Butib concentrated on solving the problems such as low wage or unemployment of engineers which were not differed from those of labours. Although the rationalization and bureaucratization enforced the degradation of engineering works, the german engineers could not find sympathy with the professional organizations. Rather than to be identified as labour, they tried to remain as expert.
