Downey and Lucena 3 affirm that not onlyengineering identity and what counts as engineering knowledge are closely related, but also bothengineering identity and engineering knowledge are tied to national identity and priorities of thetime. Moreover, epistemology and its pedagogical implications are critically important in thediscussion of systemic change and transformation of engineering education. For example, Olson 4and Riley 5,6 have offered an epistemological critique of outcome-based paradigm to show why asa viable program of change it is self-defeating, partly, due to epistemic rigidity.The main goal of this

System-wide onlyabout 17% of degrees in engineering are awarded to women [3]. The low rate of women attainingengineering degrees at CSU campuses is influenced by several factors. Bowman highlightscompetition between the UC and CSU systems for students, a heavy reliance on communitycollege transfers, and a limited range of locally available degrees, all of which can restrictwomen’s participation at CSU [1].
