It then reviews the state of the art of our knowledge on the production and mobilization of formal and informal knowledge in engineering: knowledge received in training; computational, modelling and formalizing thinking; types of knowledge, including their socio-technical nature; knowledge of coordination, prescription and communication; their socio-political constitution and the challenges of innovation.
