Many philosophers of science think scientific practice can benefit from philosophical concepts, and as such philosophy of science should play a direct role in science and engineering education. In this paper we consider a highly integrative course design strategy for integrating philosophy of science in specific disciplinary educational programmes through adaptation, operationalization and embedding of philosophy of science material to fit both the scientific and educational structure of a programme. The goal of the strategy is to help encourage students to recognize the value of philosophical concepts to scientific decision making and to apply them in their own scientific practice. We use the example of a 7.5 ECTS civil engineering course which implements this design at a European technical university, to elaborate these concepts, and present some evidence on how students receive the course. We discuss some of challenges and limitations of implementing this kind of strategy for teaching philosophy of science.

将科学哲学融入土木工程:综合课程设计策略

许多科学哲学家认为科学实践可以从哲学概念中受益,因此科学哲学应该在科学和工程教育中发挥直接作用。在本文中,我们考虑了一种高度整合的课程设计策略,通过适应、操作嵌入将科学哲学融入特定学科教育计划中。科学哲学材料以适应课程的科学和教育结构。该策略的目标是帮助鼓励学生认识到哲学概念对科学决策的价值,并将其应用到自己的科学实践中。我们以在欧洲技术大学实施此设计的 7.5 ECTS 土木工程课程为例,阐述这些概念,并提供有关学生如何接受课程的一些证据。我们讨论了实施这种科学哲学教学策略的一些挑战和局限性。
