Her designschool curriculum included courses that expanded on the engineering-related skills she alreadypossessed, such as an understanding of structural design, material selection, and machining, andgave her opportunities to practice them on projects and interdisciplinary engagements. She alsocompleted courses that focused on various engineering-related topics such as manufacturing,CAD modeling, and product design. Kaylla: “I was always interested in the practical applications of design, not just form over function, which is a lot of what happens in art school.

call to integrate and promote engineering-oriented education throughout PK-12 schooling for all students, including those classified as EnglishLearners (ELs). To date, however, there has been little research on effective ways to support PK-12teachers — usually with little background knowledge and experience in engineering themselves. Studieshave mostly highlighted successful ways in which teachers overcome challenges when implementingengineering into their classrooms or the curriculum rather than diving deeper into institutional challengesthat teachers face during this process [1-5]. Some of these strategies include incorporating newengineering design activities [1], supplementing instruction through summer programs [2, 3], or learningabout

Although standard lectures have transitioned to virtual space in a relatively seamlessmanner, laboratory components have presented a greater challenge [2]. Maintaining dynamic yetrelevant practical, hands-on learning experiences within a virtual platform has demonstrated mixedsuccess [4].

However, during the ABET assessment retreats of 2012 and 2013, apossible area of improvement was identified. During the retreat, employer surveys from co-opsupervisors [2] and surveys from recent alumni [3] were evaluated. The surveys identified thatsome students lacked a complete understanding of machining methods and how they influenceengineering design. In addition, students were not always able to demonstrate how machiningtolerances should be correctly applied to insure quality and reduce production cost

Empathyaddresses 21st century needs that require interaction and intuition of others’ needs related tosustainable design [6]. Work, management and social science scholar Daniel Pink proposes thatempathy is one of six qualities vital to future global success [8]. The increased appreciation ofsocial issues that accompanies expanded empathy gives greater insight into things like socialinequality and discrimination [9]. Moreover, an academic curriculum that teaches empathy isassociated with greater ease in learning, future promotion in the workforce, leadership skills,business acumen, and positive
