Abstract:
The paper offers an anthropological view on engineering praxis, multidisciplinary research and science reasoning. The paper is based upon experiences from both student activities and the research in a classroom laboratory at NTNU. The aim of the paper is to show how a potent action research methodology, with experience oriented ontology as a foundation, developed in the meetings of disciplines and persons. The paper argue that engineering praxis is interesting to understand, not only by results, but as a praxis and a process in itself, and suggest that abduktive inference is an important and often neglected aspect of engineering praxis.
