However, currenttechnology has not been incorporated in the teaching of the material. Specifically, there is achapter in most texts that addresses basic finite element analysis (FEA) theory. However, FEA isnot used to teach the concepts of machine design. Conversely, the content of machine design isnot used to enhance

study published in the journal Science Education showed that high-school seniors whoexpress an interest in pursuing science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) are threetimes more likely to complete college degrees in those subjects. The key to getting students tothat tipping point, says lead author Adam Maltese, an assistant professor of science education atIndiana University, seems to be exposing them early to a STEM experience that sparks theirinterest, then providing them with a way to maintain it.”Students are enthusiastic about cool projects. Engineering educators may take advantage of thestudents’ enthusiasm: use it as a driving force for deeper learning. Thus, students are led from theobvious to the essential: from the observation
concepts in this paper, to allow for ambiguity about the extent to which these modesare psychologically “real” versus useful categories for analysis. Crucially, we do not assume thatan ideological mode observed by a student or by a group will characterize the student or group ina different context.We note that mindsets and “the culture of disengagement” prevalent in engineering andengineering education are cultural constructions that have ideological character. The ideology-in-pieces theoretical framework provides us with theoretical and analytical tools for making senseof engineering students’ reasoning in ways that allow us to begin building a bridge fromstudents’ contextualized, often tacit ideological assumptions to the grand “mindsets” and

Manystudent complaints centered on basic course navigation and the ability to find the necessaryresources to successfully meet the demands of the course.

. 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

in Portugal [10] and in the US[11].A similar approach was used also at Link¨oping University during a few years, until about tenyears ago. At that time, students in the five-year integrated Master’s program in MechanicalEngineering started their education with a broad introductory engineering course. This coursecovered a lot of different subjects as for example design, production technology, written and oralcommunication and ecological sustainability. The course unfortunately gained a bad reputationamong both students and teachers for being too vague, to lack clear focus and objectives, and forbad integration between the subjects. This ultimately led to a discontinuation of the course.Since then, there has been a quite compact resistance

essentially engineering. Insome countries the term technologist is used in preference to engineer or engineering inpolicy documents.The term technology has a specific meaning in U.S. engineering education that it does nothave in other countries.World-wide developments in school technology and technological literacy programmes donot necessarily convey what engineering is to either the participating students or the public atlarge. Hence the importance of the distinction between technological and engineering literacymade by Krupczak and his colleagues. It is argued that the two need to be linked ineducational programmes and in policy making.This point may have been recognized by the Institution of Electrical Engineers for when itmerged with the
