This work-in-progress paper presents partial results from doctoral research whose main question is ¿How men and women have been ethically constituted in the engineering education culture, and how these subjectivities have contributed to the professional ethic profile configuration? The purpose of responding to this question is to critically reflect on the ethical subject-engineer that is formed in Latin American Engineering Faculties, and to find how this is constituted as positionings in the discursive practices of the actors in the culture, in the lattice of forces of tension, resistance, and transformation; analyzing how these subjectivities contribute to defining the engineering ethical profile with a gender perspective. The epistemological perspective that originates the methodological proposal is based on the Gadamerian hermeneutic circle, Heidegger's theory of the constitution of hermeneutic subjectivity, Bourdieu's notion of field, Harré's positioning theory, and Fore & Hess's proposal of ethical becoming theory. The research participated subjects from three Latin American faculties and two national and international engineering academic associations. As a partial result of the research project, this article characterizes the professional ethical identity positions expressed by the participants of one of the faculties, in terms of how they relate to society, to others, to their profession, and the planet; and their utopias about the duty-to-be, duty-to-know, and the duty-to-do of the engineering profession. These partial results permit to characterize the ethical subjectivities that have been constituted in engineering professionals, to later advance in identifying the sociocultural factors that contributed to the consolidation of this outcomes, in light of the positioning and the ethical becoming theories.
