商品描述
The cultural, political, and pedagogical history of an elite Iranian engineering institution in the years directly preceding the 1979 Iranian revolution. In 1966, the Shah of Iran established Aryamehr University of Technology (AMUT), now known as Sharif University of Technology, as part of a larger campaign to modernize the nation. In 1979, AMUT engineering students played a critical role in the revolution that overthrew the Shah and his regime. In Revolutionary Engineers, Sepehr Vakil, Mahdi Ganjavi, and Mina Khanlarzadeh show how Western notions of scientific and technical rigor combined in unexpected ways with Iranian and Islamic values at AMUT in the years directly preceding the 1979 Iranian revolution. They also argue that global perspectives, particularly from the Global South, can deepen and complicate contemporary discussions on ethics, epistemology, and knowledge production in STEM fields. The authors present the cultural, political, and pedagogical history of AMUT, from its 1966 establishment up to its pivotal role in the 1979 revolution, while delving into the complex interplay of global, national, and Islamic values in STEM education. In the past several years, STEM education scholars have challenged the epistemological and ontological foundations of STEM education research and practice, while deepening the field's engagement with questions of power, ethics, race, and justice. The case of AMUT presents the opportunity to contribute a Global South perspective to studies of the civic, cultural, and political functions and foundations of science and engineering education. Sharif University continues to be at the epicenter of politics in Iran.

伊朗精英工程機構在1979年伊朗革命前夕的文化、政治和教育歷史。
1966年，伊朗國王建立了阿里亞梅赫科技大學（Aryamehr University of Technology，簡稱AMUT），現稱沙里夫科技大學（Sharif University of Technology），作為現代化國家的更大運動的一部分。1979年，AMUT的工程學生在推翻國王及其政權的革命中扮演了關鍵角色。在革命工程師一書中，Sepehr Vakil、Mahdi Ganjavi和Mina Khanlarzadeh展示了西方對科學和技術嚴謹性的觀念如何在1979年伊朗革命前夕以意想不到的方式與伊朗和伊斯蘭價值觀相結合。他們還主張，來自全球南方的全球視角可以深化並複雜化當代對STEM領域中的倫理學、認識論和知識生產的討論。作者呈現了AMUT的文化、政治和教育歷史，從1966年成立到其在1979年革命中的關鍵角色，同時深入探討全球、國家和伊斯蘭價值觀在STEM教育中的複雜相互作用。在過去幾年中，STEM教育學者挑戰了STEM教育研究和實踐的認識論和本體論基礎，並加深了該領域對權力、倫理、種族和正義問題的參與。AMUT的案例提供了將全球南方視角納入科學和工程教育的公民、文化和政治功能及基礎研究的機會。沙里夫大學仍然是伊朗政治的中心。作者簡介
