Over these decades, the number of people who called themselves \"engineers\" (or who were recognized as such by others) expanded from a small and eclectic number of individuals to one of the most numerous, mobile, and influential professional groups of the twentieth century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTens of thousands of university-trained engineers and other professionalized technical experts, a few famous but most anonymous, became critical to the technological, organizational, and political development of global capitalism and socialism in the twentieth century. This was the case in Western Europe and the United States, and it was also true in colonial settings and independent countries around the world, where the institutions of modern engineering were often established in the same era. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis collection edited by Edward Beatty and Israel Solares presents eight case studies of engineers' work and interactions situated in local, national, or regional places but always intersecting with global influences. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContributors: Edward Beatty, Marco Bertilorenzi, Aurora Gómez-Galvarriato, Mark Hendrickson, Doug Jones, Elisabeth Köll, Aparajith Ramnath, Israel G.
