latest technology with new knowledge and design.7 Technology is chosenand mediated by those in social power and domination, which has traditionally been anexclusively male domain.8 This domination has led to a monopoly of male engineers in controlof the technological knowledge and its power upon society. Male dominance in technology andengineering has rendered gender invisible in the science of design and technology. There is adanger in this rendering as it assumes gender as being non-relevant within the social creation oftechnology. Yet, “universities still tend to reproduce this professional engineering culture and thecorresponding social habit in favor of men” 9 resulting in research and design laboratories asprimarily male dominated spaces
