    Transformation of Gendered Engineering Culture in Turkey
    (Ankara Üniversitesi KASUM, 2019-05-26) Kadayıfçı, Ezgi Pehlivanlı; Other; Other
    This article aims to understand the factors creating gendered aspects in professional culture of engineering and its transformation in contemporary Turkey by using a theoretical tool called "Gendered Engineering Culture”. The results of this study showed that engineering profession has a prestigious image in Turkey’s society which is based on gendered codes and ideals. Mentioned codes mainly adress male engineer as the ideal type whose characteristics have certain limits peculiar to Turkey. The results of this study also address engineer’s fading image due to its changing role in the global economy. In addition, a slight change is also noted in gendered image of engineering on the social level, due to the increasing number of women participating in the profession.
