:“Engineers know from experience that this view is untrue. [From an engineering perspective],technology appears, not as derivative from science, but as an autonomous body of knowledge.Aero planes are not designed by science, but by art – despite some pretense and humbug to thecontrary. The creative, constructive knowledge of the engineer is the knowledge needed toimplement that art.” Vincenti’s core theme is that engineers and engineering educators need to present,explicitly, the engineering worldview with the corresponding understanding of engineeringknowledge and engineering practice. 2 Duke engineer Henry Petroski, adopting the ‘natural’engineering perspective, had an article in The Washington Post entitled, “If you want to changethe

Connections across culturally relevant pedagogy and CBL.For engineering educators, critical consciousness has relevance in the emerging scholarshipsurrounding the unequal benefits of new technology (or, in extreme cases, its harmful effects)across social strata [22]. Recently, scholars have proposed models of CBL that directly addresssuch engineering “blind spots” through partnering with community stakeholders across theengineering design process, from needs-identification to implementation of solutions [23]. Thismodel can be translated into homework assignments that
