Abstract

Our last Journey took us into the realm of psychology. Clearly, the questions posed by philosophers are sometimes posed by psychologists. The same is true of sociology where sociologists have developed a very substantial theory of knowledge, traditionally the province of philosophers. This journey brings us face to face with some of the fundamental questions of philosophy such as “What is knowledge?” and “What is truth?” It also brings us into the realm of the philosophy of science (education). A question that has to be resolved in these journeys is whether or not there is an area of knowledge that is the philosophy of engineering (education). I put education in brackets because some engineering educators with whom I work believe that you first have to resolve the issue as to whether or not there is a philosophy of engineering that is separate from the philosophy of science before you can resolve the issue of whether or not there is the possibility of a philosophy of engineering education that is separate from a philosophy of science education.
