description	In the contemporary world, several social and development projects demand the participation of engineering professionals.Although, universities do not usually train technical professionals with an integral profile to work in interdisciplinary teamswith perspectives that benefit the understanding of complex social problems. In this article, we seek to question the representations and practices of engineering from the contributions of social anthropology and the gender perspective based on the work experience at “Ingeniería Sin fronteras- Argentina”. We understand that in social projects somedisciplinary paradigms such as verticality, coloniality and the supposed technological neutrality are put in tension. In thisway, we look forward to contributing to the debate on the role of engineering in society and the question of finding other ways to design and implement technological solutions in contexts of high social vulnerability.

En el mundo contemporáneo diversos proyectos sociales y de desarrollo demandan la participación de profesionales de laingeniería. Sin embargo, las universidades no suelen formar a profesionales técnicos con un perfil integral para trabajar enequipos interdisciplinarios con perspectivas que beneficien la comprensión de los problemas sociales complejos. En este artículo buscamos cuestionar las representaciones y prácticas de la ingeniería desde los aportes de la antropología social yla perspectiva de género a partir de la experiencia de trabajo en Ingeniería Sin Fronteras - Argentina. Entendemos que en losproyectos sociales se ponen en tensión algunos paradigmas disciplinares como la verticalidad, la colonialidad y la supuestaneutralidad tecnológica. De esta manera, buscamos aportar al debate sobre el rol de la ingeniería en la sociedad y a la cuestión de encontrar otras formas de diseñar e implementar soluciones tecnológicas en contextos de alta vulnerabilidadsocial.
