The feature that distinguishes engineering from the purelytheoretical sciences is that of synthesis. Any meaningful synthesis requires two basiccomponents, one that arises from the order of our scientific knowledge and

Also, the program is tailored toengineering research objectives that include elements of innovation and technology development,as opposed to discovery (in the natural sciences). Rather than spending extensive periods in aformal teaching laboratory, the students often spend time in the engineering makerspace and/or inthe research labs of their faculty mentors. Research projects are conducted in small teams,generally 2-4 students per team, and students are expected to spend approximately 5 hours/weekon their research—enough time to make steady progress on their project but not

belief as “dominant” because it is a view that has given theprofession and educational institutions the idea that its knowledge is somehow superior than thepublic’s own knowledge with respect to engineering. In previous work, Beddoes & I 2 havealready questioned if engineers’ perception of a public lacking in understanding of engineeringwas really true, or if, as Science, Technology & Society (STS) research had suggested since the1980s, that engineers were perceiving any public skepticism about the benefits of engineering asdue to a public that was uneducated and misinformed, without any substantial proof.
