understanding of the philosophical basis of engineering will help educators to design and deliver classes with pedagogical approaches that result in more effective engineering training. The questions regarding why and how this effort will be useful to engineers and engineering educators need to be discussed, debated, and examined. This paper is an attempt to identify and focus on some of the major issues of such discussions with emphasis on the pedagogical perspectives. MotivationIn today’s age of technological and engineering advances, engineering fields and discipline-‐focused approaches are merging, expanding, and growing beyond educators’ imaginations

mathematicalknowledge undergirds engineering practice, and communication skills facilitate it, engineeringjudgment governs the appropriate and ethical application of engineering knowledge. Theinfluential historian of technology, Eugene Ferguson, makes just this point to close his book,Engineering and the Mind’s Eye: If we are to avoid calamitous design errors as well as those that are merely irritating or expensive, it is necessary that engineers understand that such errors are not errors of mathematics or calculation but errors of engineering judgment—judgment that is not reducible to engineering science or to mathematics. Here, indeed, is the crux of all arguments about the nature of the education that an engineer requires

paper intends to expand upon previousattempts at integrating Heidegger’s, Husserl’s, and Jaspers’ works on epistemologies, andforward them in a more integrated way accessible to both the philosopher of technology and theengineering educator interested in a more grounded application of philosophical constructs. We start with previous work addressing Husserl’s Logical Investigations to help lay thegroundwork for a classical understanding of consciousness and its intents. Then, we discussHeidegger’s constructs of false thinking and Bodenständigkeit or autochthony – sometimescalled groundedness. This work and its related thoughtlessness in continental philosophy hasrarely been applied to engineering and even less frequently (if at all) been

In the not toodistant past, the fundamentals included a fair amount of engineering technology. Many oftoday’s four year engineering programs disdain the technical side of engineering, openly criticalthat their curricula are assuredly not a technology program; favoring instead a more extensivefocus on derivation and theoretical work with expected continuity into graduate level

When teachers blend technology with traditional subjectssuch as math and language arts, students find creative and novel ways to utilize engineering andcomputer science. Through teacher surveys, Hamner et al. found that PD sessions improvedteacher confidence in implementing robotics and programming projects into theirclassrooms.Cortina and Trahan describe a five-day workshop aimed at providing teachers ways to incorporateCS into their classrooms without having to make major changes to their curricula.

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
