While discussions about the relationship between philosophy and engineering isconstantly evolving, the focus on application of science for some practical means continues to beprevalent in discussions [20]. Because the focus of engineering is not on a specific knowledgebase, but rather a utilization of scientific principles to meet changing societal needs [21],engineering disciplines continue to evolve and therefore must be consistently analyzed to betterinform curricular design.The design process is also commonly discussed in engineering literature [14], [15], and has

As Riley writes of one ubiquitous methodologicalcommitment in particular, “The evidence-based process [of STEM education research] isinstrumental in that it is a means to a given end, and the ethics or morality of those ends is notconsidered.”4 We see “ethics or morality” configuring all research choices and along with Riley,envision a set of critical questions that could potentially increase the impact of educationalresearch upon social inequities.

He thenworks to define engineering through the ethical considerations of the profession. Additionally,to define engineering, he differentiates it from science. In a workshop given to scientists andengineers, he asked whether they would rather “invent something useful” or “discover newknowledge” 16. The scientists had a hard time answering and ended up split in their decision,while all of the engineers chose something useful. Therefore, he claims, “The primarycommitment of engineers is not to knowledge, theoretical or applied, as one would expect ofscientists, but to human welfare” 17.
