Third, and the primary topic of this paper, men control decisions about technology, commonly understood.

Engineering education, also with roots in military institutions, is one source of gender maintenance during times of technological transformation. This hierarchical organization of technology stands in contradiction to the ideology and core elements of cooperative structure.
