engineering and engineering technology, problem-based andproject-based learning are different. According to Lee [4], the focus of problem-based learning isthe problem solving and learning process, while the project outcome is the focus of project-basedlearning. Since project-based learning is commonly seen in senior students’ capstone designcourses, problem-based learning can be used as a prelude to project-based learning in priorcourses. In this way, students can develop the skills necessary to apply to project-based learningactivities.Gijbels et al. [5] state that assessments for problem-based learning can include collaborativeteamwork assessment, exams, reports, and self and peer assessment. Several factors play a role inthe impacts of PBL that

A design project is given to students enrolled in a Design Methodologies course –which serves as a Capstone Design Precursor – at a small private, engineering focused university.Student empathy was collected through a survey that combined two existing empathy instruments.Student empathy was calculated before and after the product design assignment. Further, studentsperformed stimulated reflection to discuss the challenges observed with their design.The results of the study suggest that while students recognize the importance of empathy, theassignment itself did not improve their empathy scores. Students did not see a statisticallysignificant change in their empathy scores before and after the assigned based on the surveyinstrument
