, 2018 A Review of Electronic Engineering Logbooks Throughout the Electrical Engineering Curriculum Abstract Successful engineers must be well versed in communication skills, particularly with respect to written documentation in engineering logbooks. Such logs provide technical records that facilitate the day-to-day work of individual engineers, as well as enable continuity when projects are transferred to other engineers. Due to changes in technology and patent law, as well as the promise of simple archiving and sharing of technical work, many practicing engineers have moved away from traditional bound paper engineering notebooks and

. 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
