Researchers and educational technology commentators have published critiques of learning engineering. <ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Lee |first=Victor R. |date=2022-08-12 |title=Learning sciences and learning engineering: A natural or artificial distinction? |url=https://doi.org/10.1080/10508406.2022.2100705 |journal=Journal of the Learning Sciences |volume=0 |issue=0 |pages=1–17 |doi=10.1080/10508406.2022.2100705 |s2cid=251547280 |issn=1050-8406}}</ref> The criticisms raised include that learning engineering misrepresents the field of [[learning sciences]] and that despite stating it is based on [[cognitive science]], it actually resembles a return to [[behaviorism]]. Others have also commented that learning engineering exists as a form of [[surveillance capitalism]]. Other fields, such as [[Instructional Systems Design|instructional systems design]], have criticized that learning engineering rebrands the work of their own field.

Still others have commented critically on learning engineering's use of metaphors and figurative language. Often a term or metaphor carries a different meaning for professionals or academics from different domains. At times a term that is used positively in one ___domain carries a strong negative perception in another ___domain.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Chandler |first1=Chelsea |url=http://sagroups.ieee.org/icicle/wp-content/uploads/sites/148/2020/07/ICICLE_Proceedings_Learning-Engineering.pdf |title=Proceedings of the 2019 Conference on Learning Engineering |last2=Kessler |first2=Aaron |last3=Fortman |first3=Jacob |date=2020 |publisher=IEEE IC Consortium on Learning Engineering |chapter=Language Matters: Exploring the Use of Figurative Language at ICICLE 2019}}</ref>
