Faculty will create an action plan to enact empathy in their teaching approaches towards their students. 2. Purpose of the workshop: Empathy in Equity-focused TeachingAs empathy is a component of the strategic vision of the College of Engineering at the University ofMichigan, this “Teaching with Empathy” workshop can potentially attract many faculty interested inincorporating more equity-focused teaching in their classrooms. Empathy, a learnable and teachable skill[10], can be a great starting point for the faculty’s equity

Role expectation was defined as “theteacher’s preferred program responsibility” and included three categories: classroom manager,helper, and learner. The categories were based on verbatim wording in the transcripts. Classroommanager referred to teachers having and using their pedagogical content knowledge regardingtheir classrooms. Helpers indicated a desire to help in whatever ways needed and included acombination of jobs such as classroom manager or to review lesson plans for pedagogicalcontent knowledge (e.g., timing and appropriateness of content for sixth grade).

Class sessions are termed “morning meetings” and the course has an employeehandbook rather than a syllabus. The students are guided through the engineering design process,teams typically brainstorm and select a design in the first semester and manufacture and test theirdesign in the spring semester.

Adcox [3] developed a system where thespecified tasks and artifacts could be measured to gain an understanding on constructionconcepts that were acquired by the students in an applied construction management setting usingthe internship as the course. This approach helps provide an example on how activity based,evidence-based or problem-based learning can be used in construction management

Notwanting to lose momentum and knowing that ENGage LSU was having a positive impact onlocal students, the authors decided to host a virtual event in 2021 due to continued limitations onin-person gatherings and began planning how to make this transition.

Its purpose is to acquaint studentswith a sufficiently broad spectrum of policies, practices, procedures, and ethics in mechanicalengineering. It is a one credit course so a 50-min session per week is devoted to lectures, but twoto three hours of outside classwork per week are required. The author joined SDSU in July 2021and started to teach this class in the fall semester.
