have argued, is too often overlooked orunderemphasized both in engineering practice [1-4] and education [6-9]. To us, these examples alsohighlight the critically important need for engineering practitioners to master and integratetechnical and empathic ways of thinking.According to Levenson and Ruef [10], empathy comprises three essential qualities including: thecognitive component – knowing what another person is feeling, the emotional component –feeling what another person is feeling, and the responding component – responding withcompassion to another person’s experience. Taking the implications of empathy beyond one-on-one interactions and squarely into the broader contexts in which they take place, Segal [11] offersa theoretical framework

competencies havebeen mastered. The rationale for involving freshmen in a real world experience during anintroductory course was to help build an appreciation for the roles that engineers play in solvingintractable challenges, and instill design thinking concepts and processes early on in students’college experiences.From a pedagogical standpoint, we were interested in answering three questions: (i) canfreshmen engineering students generate real world, actionable infrastructure data for themunicipality? (ii) can students effectively use the design thinking process to engage with anengineering problem?, and (iii) can students work in multidisciplinary teams and effectivelyengage in a collaborative problem solving process? To answer these questions

As part of theirexploration students were introduced to the possibility of using GIS in their creative process andgiven a deck of ‘geo-design cards’. These design-process cards, originally created for an upper-level GIS course, help students apply creative exploration tactics using GIS processes.

was too muchto juggle and master in a single setting. These two approaches (on the track and off) seem tosupport the finding that domain issues (in this case spatial reasoning) were more of a challenge tothe success of the programmers than understanding the ‘language’ over time.Relating Problem Solving Approaches to Learning The participants did not naturally take to ‘designing’ as a separate activity form coding.Unless directed otherwise, most would skip to directly programming the device. Initially firstthis could be a desire to ‘play with the robot’ but skipping planning persists through the hoursession, each day, even after planning proved a successful strategy. The act of planning does notseemingly a natural trait in novices, as
