Desired Outcomes Reflection and dialogue on engineering philosophy and engineering education philosophy Deepen understanding of role of philosophy in engineering education Identify community of interested participants Develop list of resources

Questions –Is the philosophy of engineering well enough understood to develop a philosophy of engineering education? –How might a philosophy of engineering education align with a philosophy of engineering? –What can a philosophy of engineering education resolve regarding the tension between content and learning? –How can a philosophy of engineering ed improve the professional practice of engineering? –What is the distinction between philosophy of engineering and cognitive science of engineering? –How can our colleagues in education help develop philosophy of engineering education?

Questions –Is there a single philosophy of engineering or do extremes require separate philosophies? –How is philosophy of engineering education different from other educational fields’ philosophies? –What can philosophy of engineering education learn from other philosophies of education? –How does the philosophy of education influence the assessment of it? –What hidden current or official knowledge does engineering education embody?

Questions –Are there geographic variations in philosophy of engineering education? –How does the philosophy of education relate the theoretical to the practice of engineering? –How do you convince “engineers” that teach that a philosophy of engineering education is significant? –How do the objectives of engineering modify the philosophy of engineering as opposed to the philosophy of science? –What is the reality of education in the academy? –How do we know what we know? –What are the values that inform or discussion?

(Provide a philosophy that practitioners can adopt.)

Sub Groups (cont.) 5.How can we communicate about the philosophy of engineering education with potentially resistive peers? 6.What is taken for granted in the language we use? Who decides? Who is left out? Should we be discussing philosophies of engineering education? 7.What is philosophy of engineering education? How is it related to philosophy of science?
