. Cross, Morgan State University Hello my name is Kalah Cross and I attend Morgan State University and plan to graduate May 2019. I am originally from St. Louis, Missouri and I came to Baltimore, Maryland to pursue my dreams of going to college. I love robotics and space science. I have always interested in learning about the stars and the creations we send out of space. One day I hope to work for a great company that will allow me to pursue my passion.Dr. Matt Collinge, Johns Hopkins University Matt Collinge received his Ph.D. in Astrophysics from Princeton University in 2010.

In fact, teachingempathy has been a key aspect of educating social workers for many years [15].When specifically looking to implement empathy-building exercises into design and engineeringeducation, Reimer recommends a variety of techniques, including implementing elements ofself- and context-awareness, decision-making and action planning, research and

Because engineering education provides graduates with complex problem solvingskills and reasoning ability in addition to their discipline-specific knowledge, these individualshave a wide range of possible careers. Many engineering students do not limit their post-graduation plans to an engineering job, and a quarter of them never planned to enter anengineering career [3]. For example, some graduates feel that a non-STEM occupation fits betterwith their professional and personal values, goals, and interests and willingly choose a non-STEM career [4].

However, those who used this learning tool, used themrather frequently. For example, as shown in Fig. 3, in the third week of the class fewer than 20students watched the videos but the total number of the views was more than 110 times.In our opinion using video tutorials for this hands-on class can improve students’ learningexperience and we plan to continue this study in the future semester.

These include activities such as constructing knowledge that is new to participant ornew to field, collaboration, testing ideas, and dissemination. Some codes reflect students’attitudes and beliefs, such as career goals or plans; challenges they faced when doing research;and aspects of mentoring or supervision. Other codes reflect aspects of students’ experiences,such as recognition, failure, gaining skills, or feeling a sense of gratification. These codes will beparticularly important for Phase III of this project, in which we will identify ways to transfer ourfindings to instructional practice
