Empathy impactscommunication [26], design processes [27], professional success [28], ethics [29], and the overallculture of engineering [24]. In this paper, a framework of empathy developed within theneurosciences is adopted. Decety & Moriguchi [30] neuroscience approach to empathy hasestablished four components of empathy: affective sharing, self-awareness, emotion regulation,perspective taking & mental flexibility. Affective sharing means one can reflect upon the feelingsof another. Self-awareness allows one to distinguish the self from the experience of another.Perspective

Communities Must Benefit The purpose of educational research is "to advance knowledge about education, to encourage scholarly inquiry related to education, and to promote the use of research to improve education and serve the public good"27. Typically, data collected as part of educational research is used to address research questions, and to write and publish papers. This ultimately benefits the researcher and improves the practice of education. Although some funding institutions such as the National Science Foundation (NSF) require dissemination of the research and evaluation findings28, in CBPR projects, research is only considered ethical if the community receives adequate benefits from

What is lessexpected is the significant importance of innovation interests and innovation self-efficacy for engineering studentsinterested in creating societal impact. Deeper exploration reveals that certain academic experiences and proximalinfluences have a direct and significant effect on a student’s interest in impact-driven work, and this relationship isstrengthened by the partial mediation of innovation self-efficacy. As such, this study suggests that the developmentof innovation self-efficacy is important in cultivating engineering students who are interested in impact
