In other words, philosophy of engineering is a reflection on the practice ofengineering which through explanatory efforts and critical descriptions provides feedback into thepractice again. Figure 1 represents this reciprocal relationship graphically.On Epistemic Diversity of EngineeringAlthough mathematical and natural sciences are widely known as major constituents ofengineering knowledge, it is not conceivable to overlook the humanistic aspects of engineering,for example, sociological, ethical, aesthetic and economical issues embedded in engineeringproblems. In recent years, a model for holistic engineering 9 has been established andconsiderable research has been done on the pedagogy of holistic engineering 10 . One of theachievements
argue that culturalresponsiveness, as well as a commitment to research that actively benefits marginalizedcommunities, are two core components of quality in qualitative research that were not originallyidentified by Walther et al.In the remainder of this paper, we use their six validation types—theoretical validation,procedural validation, communicative validation, pragmatic validation, ethical validation, andprocess reliability—as an organizational framework. Under each validation type, we describehow researchers can maintain cultural responsiveness during three phases: the conceptualizationphase, the data generation phase, and the data handling phase. To identify additional validationstrategies beyond Walther et al.’s framework, we conducted

How closely an individual relates to a particular field, profession, or occupation [6]. The relatively stable and enduring constellation of attributes, beliefs, values, motives and experiences in terms of which people define themselves in a professional role [7].

Expectancy value theory(EVT) indicates that students will be more motivated to learn topics that they believe will beimportant in their future, due to utility value. Self-efficacy beliefs also contribute to learning.Given this framework, the research

EducationBodnar and colleagues [1] conducted a systematic review of game-based learning withinengineering. Through an inclusion/exclusion filtering process, 191 studies were included in theprimary review set, of which 62 included studies on learning outcomes [1]. The reviewdemonstrated games have been used in a variety of engineering disciplines ranging from first-year programs to core disciplines to specific topics within engineering such as ethics and design.However, the most frequent published use of games was in computer, mechanical, electrical, andfirst-year engineering disciplines. There was also a diversity of the types of games being used inengineering classrooms, including gamification methods, board/card games, and digitalimplementations, with
performance, butdata analysis is ongoing (due to ethics considerations the data were only recently released foranalysis). A major weakness of the blended model is the capacity of students for self-directedlearning and so we have identified a need for the course to address metacognitive outcomes – inessence, the course needs to provide support to help students “learn how to learn”. Some studentsstated that they could not learn using online content and “needed to be taught,” as if this is aninherent fact rather than a skill that can be developed. In particular, sections who traditionallystruggle with this course did not find the online content effective for learning and were lesssatisfied with the blended model.

This activity is meant to emphasize that there are always both positiveand negative consequences of technology, an important theme particularly of the second course.Throughout the course, the instructors tried to use historical content to develop studentspreparing to enter technical professions. For example, during one class period, students workedin small groups to investigate an engineering disaster and write a short essay addressing whatwent wrong, what ethical issues surrounded the disaster, and what the effects of the disaster werein terms of changes to government oversight, societal

, longitudinalstudy of over 300 engineering students at 4 universities nation-wide, students rated theirprofessional/ethical responsibility as engineers, their concern for understanding the consequencesof technology, their degree of social consciousness, and their concern for understanding howpeople use machines. Ratings were collected twice during their college career and once 18months following graduation. The results of Cech’s study revealed that engineers, both asstudents and then when working in industry, showed a linear decline for concerns about publicwelfare across the time points. This report highlighted that engineering students over timeshowed diminished prosocial trait endorsement. Cech’s findings further motivate the study ofprosocial affordance

I enjoyed the topics and found them practical It’s good because it’s an important topic of materials and it can be eye opening for some. I enjoyed it. It might be a field I study in grad school I thought it was very interesting, it taught us more about the ethical side of engineering decisions. Especially the green design section. I think it is a good idea because as engineers we need to consider how our actions might affect Earth and the generations that come after us.Some examples of more neutral response are shown below: Unopposed, but it didn’t help the
