It signifies a change in academic culturethat values integration as well as specialization, teamwork, individual achievement,educational innovation as well as research. ACES fosters the building and refinement ofintellectual skills needed by practicing engineers and scientists [3].The motto of ACES is “a center run by students for students,” which indicates thatstudent employees are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Center as well asfor providing workshops, running a website, manning a tutoring center and publishing amonthly newsletter.

However, research on the effect of engineering education onthe development of empathy is virtually nonexistent, and even studies linking empathy toinnovation outcomes are rare. This study takes a first step towards evidence-based practice bydemonstrating that graduate students’ self-reported empathy (as measured by perspective takingtendencies) as well as their innovation self-efficacy (as measured by confidence in design

It is common for engineering and pre-engineering programs at HBCUs to beembedded in an integrated department or school of science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM). Having an administrative unit focused on STEM can further facilitateinterdisciplinary research experiences for its undergraduate students.The goal of this paper is to assess the impacts of a summer research experience oninterdisciplinary student teams at Benedict College, which is a recognized HBCU and classifiedas Baccalaureate Colleges – Diverse Fields. Like other interdisciplinary student experiences, thissummer program combines two signature high-impact practices, undergraduate research andcollaborative assignments and projects. High
