This study explores the development of an engineering praxis as a result of a cooperation between an engineering company and the programme KTH Advanced Programme in Reflective Practice of the research area of Skill and technology at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm. The dialogue seminar method has been used and taken as a starting point for the dialogue in groups of engineers. Using the writings of René Descartes, Ludwik Fleck, Einar Már Gudmundsson and Fridtjof Nansen the study begins to formulate an approach – Maximum Complexity – to the skill of problem-solving. The approach has been presented previously in a short form in Dialogue, Skill and Tacit Knowledege edited by Bo Göranzon, Maria Hammarén and Richard Ennals. / QC 20101116
