EmpathyEmpathy is described as the cognitive and affective ability to ascertain and share another’semotion, state, reactions, or perspective [7, 8]. It has also been linked to behavior [9], and isdelineated as a construct that may have self-centered, other-centered, or pluralistic orientations[10]. The “affective response more appropriate to another’s situation than one’s own” [11, p. 4],has also been characterized as central to moral and ethical decisions and interpretations of socialjustice.Some scholars have labeled empathy as a teachable skill, virtue, and/or ability, and othershighlight the role personal choice plays in its development [12–15]. As Wiggins and McTighe(2005) expressed, “It is not simply an affective response or sympathy over which we

Dr. Finelli’s current research interests include student resistance to active learning, faculty adoption of evidence-based teaching practices, and the use of technology and innovative pedagogies on student learn- ing and success. She also led a project to develop a taxonomy for the field of engineering education research, and she was part of a team that studied ethical decision-making in engineering students.Prof. Stephen L DesJardins Stephen L.

, encouraged students to takeresponsibility for their learning by including them in course decisions, provided room forstudents to make mistakes without penalization, and fostered a collaborative community ofscholars. Furthermore, the curriculum focused on my decentering westernization, facilitatingcritical thought about engineering ethics and how race and class issues intertwine withthermodynamics, dismantling false notions of objectivity in engineering, and exploring historicaland philosophical dimensions of thermodynamics [14]. These pedagogical techniquesempowered students to develop authority in an environment that is commonly controlled by theinstructor and to critically analyze and counter dominant narratives and ways of knowing inengineering

DimensionsOur third theme focuses on students who connect mechanics topics to the impacts engineeringwork has on the people and world around them. We defined Sociotechnical Dimensions asinstances where students recognize engineers’ responsibilities beyond technical competence,such as keeping people safe, promoting social justice, or positively impacting society.SafetyOur first code within this theme is Safety, which describes students who connect mechanicsconcepts to the professional and ethical responsibilities of keeping people safe through goodpractice of engineering. These excerpts highlight how mechanics can provide the foundation formeaningful engineering calculations, like finding the allowable stresses in bridges, factors ofsafety in buildings

Many of the experiments involve rely on Python code to interact with sensors and actuators. Therefore, a solid foundation in the skills from Intro is necessary.From the population of position-of-stress participants, a stratified sampling technique was usedto choose interview candidates in three categories of decreasing
