Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Towards a Philosophy of Engineering Education LaboratoriesAbstractMost engineering educators agree that laboratories are a key part of the engineering curriculum,but there is less agreement about what labs are to accomplish. This ambiguity may be partiallyattributed to changing views in science more broadly about the role of experimentation andparallel changes in emphasis on lab education throughout the twentieth century. Whenlaboratories are seen as practical necessities, their perceived importance decreases. At present,many are returning to the view that laboratories play a key epistemic role. This paper develops arole for philosophy in understanding the purpose of laboratories. Concepts from
