Reflections from the edge : engineering education viewed through a different lens

Disciplinary approaches are a product of our learning within a discipline, the paradigm of practice created and accepted by any given discipline. The generation of knowledge within a given discipline is governed by the cognitive and social norms which must be followed in the production, legitimisation and diffusion of knowledge. Our interaction with engineering education is significant and consequently we are able to offer this alternate ‘lens’ via our own ‘different’ discipline training. We hope this paper provides new insights and a catalyst for engineering discipline trained educators to understand what their practice looks like from the outside in
