Inhalt: "This article considers the concept of technology, which forms the basis for engineering education and the engineering profession. Two distinctive features of this concept are dose ties with natural science and also with economic rationality and economic growth. These features are seen as limiting the concept and are discussed as gendered. The criticism female engineering students express about their education in different studies is viewed through the lenses of feminist science criticism and Ve's theory of two different rationalities. To a certain degree, this criticism by female engineering students can be seen as a reaction against the limits of the underlying concept of technology in education. If engineering should be a more gender balanced profession, the gender of the concept itself should change and exceed its current limits." (author's abstract)
