the work of Flanagan et al.'s [5] work-in-progresspaper that examined how adding empathy into first-year engineering curriculum changedstudents’ perspectives on the role of an engineer. Engineering design revolves fundamentallyaround meeting user needs and to offer solutions that meet diverse needs, engineers need tocultivate an understanding of various perspectives. Empathy plays a crucial role in enablingengineers to consider the implications of their design decisions on people thoroughly, andemploying empathy can effectively address sociocultural and political aspects of designs. Thisnecessitates its inclusion in engineering classrooms. Flanagan et al. found that through theincorporation of empathy into the curriculum, students begin to

We aimto reframe this mindset and look at the capital and assets that FGS possess and how they navigatestructures of engineering. We also want to understand what culture and support leads to successin engineering. Martin et al. [13] began the turn in questioning the “deficit” framing of thisgroup.

Looking at these side-by-side, it is almost unsurprising that some researchers such as Smith et al.

further expand somefields as we know them.There is also a growing body of work looking at data science applications in engineering [6].Although we know it may be applied or beneficial for the broader field and its subfields (e.g.,mechanical, industrial, chemical), we are limited in our understanding of how non-computingengineers may apply it in their work or practice. With that said, it is necessary to understand hownon-computing engineers may apply data science in their work, as this remains a challenge in thefield. In the context of engineering education and practice, Beck et al.’s article suggests addingdata science as a “competency” in chemical engineering both in “the university curriculum or ina professional development context.” They also
engage with potential customers, analyzing the market's reception and financialfeasibility of their ideas. EM13’s reflection on the significance of seeing the broader context,beyond mere problem-solving, underscores this point: “I think what gave me confidence ininnovation and entrepreneurship is understanding the bigger picture. It’s not just solving aproblem, but also trying to sell it to someone, having someone pay for it. […] Askingquestions like: what's the problem you're solving? Who are you solving it for? Why are thealternatives inferior, and why is now the right time to solve this? What’s the marketopportunity?”Expanding on this, integrating this big-picture perspective early in the learning process iscrucial for understanding the
