. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 On Epistemic Diversity of Engineering and Engineering EducationAbstractThe philosophy of science and the philosophy of technology are now both established academicdisciplines, but can either be a surrogate for the philosophy of engineering? How can we justifythe philosophy of engineering? In an attempt to answer these questions, we use the termepistemic diversity to represent the multi-dimensional nature of engineering knowledge, which ischaracteristically distinct from other sciences. The role of design in engineering and itssocio-historical “situatedness” are also discussed to shed light on the knowledge of engineeringand what engineers do

the United States. The RET program serves to support collaborative partnershipsbetween K-12 and community college Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics(STEM) teachers and post-secondary research faculty and students. Through these long-termpartnerships, the goal of the RET program is to enhance STEM content knowledge in teacherparticipants through their exposure-to and immersion-in a summer research experience hosted bya research university. The program is also designed to support the translation of the researchexperience learning outcomes into meaningful curriculum development for K-12 and communitycollege teacher participants. Following summer participation in the RET program, researchteams (university research faculty and

Inquiry: A motivationSince 2006, our team has been involved in technological literacy curriculum working with non-engineering students to develop understanding of Technological and Engineering literacy [9, 10].Using reflective practice [11,12] in the technological classes enable us to track students’development and cognitive engagement better than regular assignments, quizzes, and tests. Overthe year, we have been seeing deeper appreciation and understanding shown by our technologicalliteracy students than in a few of our engineering classes. Starting in 2013, we have started tobring about a similar indepth engagement of reflective practices in our freshman engineeringclasses. In 2015 we started a more in depth approach to the reflective practice

environment was in a course called Electromagnetism fornon-electrical engineers. This course focuses more on engineering and technological literacy. Itconnects the ideas in coherent conceptual ways rather than competency approach which mostlyemphasises calculus, physics, and important definitions and equations that are dominant in thirdyear electromagnetism. The EM for non-electrical engineers (non-calculus based) deals withalmost all aspects of EM, including conceptual and practical issues of the field without anyrequired calculus. The class covers basic classical electromagnetism, moves to the later part ofthe 19th century and the early 20th century. There are discussions about electrodynamics,ideation of Quantum mechanics, Special relativity, some

in Portugal [10] and in the US[11].A similar approach was used also at Link¨oping University during a few years, until about tenyears ago. At that time, students in the five-year integrated Master’s program in MechanicalEngineering started their education with a broad introductory engineering course. This coursecovered a lot of different subjects as for example design, production technology, written and oralcommunication and ecological sustainability. The course unfortunately gained a bad reputationamong both students and teachers for being too vague, to lack clear focus and objectives, and forbad integration between the subjects. This ultimately led to a discontinuation of the course.Since then, there has been a quite compact resistance
