How should engineers respond to "gender"?
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:10 authored by Ian K. Smout, Brian Reed, Sue CoatesA research project on mainstreaming gender in
water projects is being undertaken by WEDC, Loughborough
University, UK with collaborators in South Africa
and India. The main output of the project will be a Practical
Guide for Engineers and Managers in the Water Sector, and
a previous paper (Smout and Coates, 2000) described
consultations held in India and South Africa with engineers
during 2000.
Throughout the research we have been exploring why
engineers’ contributions to non-technical issues are limited
and how engineers can improve the development impact of
their work. and increase the involvement of groups of
people normally excluded from engineering projects –
especially women but also poor men and children. This
paper considers the role of engineers in this context.
