Description (Dublin Core)

eng Engineering professions genceraly went last decades through process of feminization, but not equaly. The article is focused on one of the most male dominant profession - mining, geology and petroleum engineering (MGPE). This study will examine the percentage of female students and graduates from mining college and their achievement on udergraduate level in eleven years period. Data show a significant differences in female students enrolment among geology (35% women) and mining and petroleum engineering (14% women). The theoretical background in explanation why women are marginal group in MPE is based on two different approaches: technological determinism and social shaping of technology. The role of technology in altering of women position in society is significant. The social construction of technology thesis stresses social factors and interests of main actors which in this case include the reproduction of tradilional value system and occupational segregation.
hrv Inženjerske profesije prolaze posljednjih desetljeća kroz proces feminizacije ali ne u jednakoj mjeri. Članak se bavi profesijama u kojima su muškarci dominantni: rudarstvu, naftnom rudarstvu i geologiji. Analiza ispituje broj upisanih i diplomiranih studentica i njihov uspjeh na R-G-N fakultetu u razdoblju od jedanaest godina. Podaci pokazuju razlike u prosječnom broju upisanih studentica geologije (35%) te rudarstva i naftnog rudarstva (14%), Teorijsko objašnjenje zašto su žene marginalna skupina na R-G-N-u zasniva se na dva pristupa: tehnološkom determinizmu i socijalnom konstruktivizmu. Uloga tehnologije u promjeni položaja žene u društvu je značajna. Socijalno konstruktivistička teza naglašava društvene čimbenike i interese glavnih aktera, što u ovom slučaju znači reprodukciju tradicionalnih vrijednosnih sustava i segregaciju zanimanja.
