. 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
