discipline specific empathy scales thatallow for pre-career assessment and practitioner reflection. Empathy, like other discipline norms,has unique characteristics and roles within a specific discipline. For example, a classroomteacher may empathize with their many students by considering each students’ strengths andvarying assignments to meet student needs. A therapist’s empathy, however, looks very differentfrom that of a classroom teacher; a therapist’s empathy allows them to act as a mirror to theclient, helping the client see their own feelings and meanings more clearly. An engineer may attimes need to empathize with a single user, as may be the case in prostatic development, or anentire community group and the environment, as may be the case

There seemed to be acontradiction between the image or stereotype of a Civil Engineer and the day-to-day realityas evidenced in Rebecca and Samuel’s comments: I think the key thing was that people expected it to be – so like you get a lot of pressure – you guys are Civil you’ re going to be like this – the individuals probably didn’t fit the stereotypes but when they got together there was a

Improving the experience of these faculty can lead toincreased diversity in the engineering faculty and ultimately result in graduating moreengineering students from diverse populations and increasing diversity in the engineeringworkforce. The Alliance interventions will focus on three major areas, 1) equity-focused institutionalchange designed to make structural changes that support the advancement of AGEP faculty, 2)identity-affirming mentorship that acknowledges and provides professional support to AGEPfaculty holistically, recognizing all parts of

Student cohorts consists of a generally uniform group ofstudents who have just finished high-school, live in dormitories or apartments close to lecturehalls and have yet to have a taste of being part of the labor force.
