enter, sustain, and improvetheir cycles of empathy.Design/MethodA qualitative approach is taken to compare and contrast the end-of-semester reflections fromstudents in engineering and design. Coding, an ethnographic research method used to findthematic patterns and similarities throughout documents, is used to analyze end-of-semesterreflections from students who have taken courses in electromagnetism for electrical engineers,electromagnetism for non-electrical engineers, and an industrial design course with a focus onengineering and technology literacy for designers.ResultsWe propose a multi-cycle model of empathy in engineering that identifies self-awareness as thefirst step to empathy through the cycle of inquiry. Our model incorporates

analyze their coursework. For this paper, we examinedparticipants’ research interviews and videos from their classroom.Classroom videosAt three different points in the program we asked participants to collect video of consentedstudents engaging in engineering in their classroom. For each submitted video, a researchernoted moments that showed evidence of student thinking or teacher-student interactions aroundengineering. In their subsequent research interview, we then asked participants to watch anddiscuss what they noticed during a brief clip (2-7 minutes) of their video.Research interviewsParticipants were interviewed a total of six times over the course of the program using a semi-structured protocol, via web-based videoconferencing technology

“thecultures and related subcultures” that exist below the radar of the formal curriculum [2, pp. 35].In both engineering and medicine, there has been momentum over the past several decades toreform education. Technological changes and growing stakes have put pressure on medical andengineering programs to evaluate their education to better address society’s needs. Physicians,medical educators, and researchers have turned to the hidden curriculum to examine how toimprove medical education by illuminating both the positive and negative undercurrents. Thispaper attempts to take a similar approach with an eye to ethics and societal impacts (ESI)education in engineering.The hidden curriculum framework has recently been applied in engineering using mixed

driving factor to benefit society.Newman’s thought laid out a framework which has influenced many modern institutions.More recently, however, there has been increased focus on the economic benefits ofeducation, particularly STEM education, which are summarized in many policy reports ofwhich the following is a typical example [2]: Engineers are essential to the creation of new technology, which has been a large contributor to US economic growth over the past century. Thus it is of national importance that the population of engineers available to the labor force is continually replenished and updated to thrive amid changes in technology and the global marketplace.The increased focus on economics comes at a

They take this class for technicalrequirements of their program. The class is most popular for students in Computer Engineering.It is designed for students who are interested in electromagnetism (EM) but are not necessarilyinspired by calculus-based version. While the students see and discuss the relevant mathematicaltools and concepts, they are not required to show the mastery on that, unless they decide to havetheir final project in area that require calculus depth.
