内容概要：KTH is Sweden's leading university and has a long and fascinating history that goes back to the early nineteenth century. This lecture explains how and why KTH was created and how engineering education in Sweden and Stockholm evolved in response to scientific and technological change, industrialization, globalization, and societal transformations. It also discusses the particular social backgrounds of KTH's students, and the particular culture of education at KTH, which was very different from that of Sweden's classical, non-technical universities. A further theme is the role of women at KTH, and how education and research have co-evolved in shaping KTH as a leading technical university.
