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

The College of Engineering typically enrolls around 200students each year, currently divided among eight degree programs (Biomedical, Chemical,Civil, Computer, Computer Science, Electrical, Environmental, and Mechanical Engineering).ENGR 100 is the cornerstone course taken by all incoming first-year engineering students, aswell as an introductory elective for students in Arts and Sciences or Management. This course isone of four courses in the common, first semester curriculum for all engineering students.For roughly the first decade from 1989-2001, the course was delivered primarily in a lecture hallwith more than 200

paper entitled Engineering Leadership: Bridging the Culture Gap in EngineeringEducation [1] we argued that a major barrier to change in engineering education, including theincorporation of engineering leadership into the curriculum, is the culture that exists in ourinstitutions. We proposed that the elements and dynamics of this culture can be examined in theform of co-contraries (or opposites that need each other) and that the relative emphasis in theseco-contraries reflects the engineering educational culture in a department, an institution or inengineering education as a whole. Example cultural co-contraries identified include: the powerdistance dynamic between the student and the professor; the nature of the distribution of effortbetween

The need to use nature in environmental problem-solving is epitomized by investment of $8 billion to restore the Kissimmee River in Florida to itsoriginal state after it was straightened to canal 30 years ago [9].
