Paper ID #30265Engagement in Practice: Practicing Empathy in Engineering for theCommunity CourseDr. Malinda S Zarske, University of Colorado, Boulder Malinda Zarske is a faculty member with the Engineering Plus program at the University of Colorado Boulder. She teaches undergraduate product design and core courses through Engineering Plus as well as STEM education courses for pre-service teachers through the CU Teach Engineering program. Her primary research interests include the impacts of project-based service-learning on student identity - es- pecially women and nontraditional demographic groups in engineering - as well
understanding of empathy has also been pursued in the fields ofengineering and technology for purposes relating to the ability of robotic technologies to imitatehuman abilities [8]–[10]. In our study, we focus on the aspect of empathy research concernedwith the ability of people to consider how their decisions affect others.Service learning (S-L) is a well-studied approach to teaching and learning [11]–[16]. It is one ofseveral pedagogies for engaging students in learning. In this study, by service learning we meana learning environment where students are taking a course for credit, serving a community aspart of the course and reflecting on their experience also as a component of the course [12], [17].S-L has been identified as a helpful pedagogy for
render more loss of life anddestruction of property. As an example, large fires have destroyed highly affluent neighborhoods acrossCalifornia, Texas, and Florida. Floods and flash floods have killed hundreds of people around the worldeach year, more than any other weather event. Catastrophic flooding, as a result of Hurricane Harvey,left many people stranded. Tornadoes cause widespread property damage, clearing slabs and flippingmobile homes. Tornadoes are also most common in the central part and Great Plains regions of theUnited States; thus, including Mississippi (U. S. Tornadoes, 2016).As researcher Quarentelli has predicted (1996 and 2001) the increase of disasters and the emergence ofnew and more impactful disasters, there would be an
learning by the university, smaller experiencesthat do not last the majority of a semester are still valuable. For example, Attanayake foundthat the incorporation of a three-week service learning project into an introductory mathematicscourse had a measurable impact on students [20]. Construction management students whoparticipated in 10-day service-learning class acknowledged a “responsibility to use their gifts tomake the world a better place” after visiting Ecuador [21]. Our college is currently exploringopportunities to utilize guest speakers with knowledge of needs in the community to developshort-duration, service learning projects.BIBLIOGRAPHY: 1. J. S. Eyler, D.

In contrast, the role we discuss is a long-term position that spans multipleprojects and was constructed explicitly for boundary spanning between the organizations.MethodsTo determine whether the educational liaisons who facilitate partnerships between a researchuniversity and formal education sites fit the criteria of a boundary spanner, we designed aqualitative study in which we analyzed documents such as activity reports using a priori c odesadapted from Jesiek, et al.’s synthesized model.

The clients are on the Autism spectrum, and we want to use art andtechnology to bring forth their creativity. We are not sure if it is the way of communication thatcaused this misunderstanding, or if the client that the student worked with was truly unhappy tobe there. During the second meeting, the clients all presented their Arduino programming work,and the helpers to the clients were amazed and said that they wouldn’t normally do so. When oneclient missed a meeting, that client would work at home and bring back the work to us. On theexhibit day, the clients dressed up and visited their project with

quality of partnerships weenter into. Our goal is to develop more sustained encounters. We also plan to focus on measuringthe effectiveness of the partnerships we enter into by collecting feedback from the educators andstudents who we work with and by assessing how eductors’ attitudes, beliefs, and knowledgechange in response to partnership. Our goal is to improve our methods for supporting educatorsand to share our results with a wider audience. Finally, we plan to create opportunities forundergraduate engineering students to join the project.
