The design reviews also provide needed technicalrecommendations for the projects, as well as giving the student teams an opportunity to practiceprofessional skills. Design

thatwould directly impact the community and foster students’ appreciation for the relationshipbetween engineering and social responsibility.Fostering students’ “Base Skills,” a facet of the professional development realm related tosocially responsible engineering, as defined by Canney and Bielefeldt,1 aligns with the project’sconnection between technical abilities and resultant societal benefits. This connection is viewedas imperative for developing future engineers’ attitudes towards human-centered design and theirroles in society.2,3 Similarly, ABET calls for holistic skillsets that encompass both technicalskills and “an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility,” while the NationalAcademy of Engineering has emphasized the

andinstitutions—are positioned to “broaden the narrow technical focus” of engineeringeducation and see themselves as co-learners and co-teachers in project-focusedrelationships (Lucena 2015, p. 16). Further, when this form of collaboration isprivileged, then relationships no longer have as their focus a given project or deliverablebut rather those relationships endure and are nourished by their place in a broadernetwork to effect deeper and more systemic local, national, or international change.Socio-technical Project-based Learning Model and AssessmentAn engineering instructor should play an important role in leading students to view socialand ethical choices as vital parts of their future lives, both as professionals and ascitizens.

engineering education, empathy is increasingly recognized as an important construct inpreparing engineers abilities to respond to 21st century challenges [23]–[25]. Empathy impactscommunication [26], design processes [27], professional success [28], ethics [29], and the overallculture of engineering [24]. In this paper, a framework of empathy developed within theneurosciences is adopted. Decety & Moriguchi [30] neuroscience approach to empathy hasestablished four components of empathy: affective sharing, self-awareness, emotion regulation,perspective taking & mental flexibility. Affective sharing means one can reflect upon the feelingsof another. Self-awareness allows one to distinguish the self from the experience of another.Perspective
