Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

This special session provides an opportunity for participants to engage in a reflective dialogue on the topic of developing student's philosophical inquiry skills. The session will provide participants with a cooperative inquiry environment intended to help engineering educators identify, evaluate, and synthesize a more coherent view of engineering education from a philosophical perspective. Also, this session will advance the ongoing discussion about the philosophical underpinnings of engineering education practice. Note: this special session is designed as a partner session to another special session: Heywood, Grimson, & Korte, Teaching Philosophy in Engineering Courses, Session M4A and a supporting paper by Heywood, Grimson, & Korte, Teaching Philosophy to Engineering Students, also in Session M4A.
