Undergraduate EngineeringCurriculum Guidelines that were approved in 2019 [21] and which replace the 2002 equivalentGuidelines [22].As we will see in the next section, the 2002 Guidelines were particularly important forprogressive perspectives such as grassroots engineering and liberating technical support tograssroots groups because: 1. They made the curriculum more flexible, allowing local faculty to adapt it to specificities the institution could identify as worth considering [23]; 2. They made explicit an ideal education that should form a generalist, humanist, critical, ethical, and socially and environmentally sensitive engineer [22]; 3. They encouraged a multidisciplinary education and made curricular

Therefore, this study aimed toidentify the constructs of empathy that were most salient in students before and after therehabilitation engineering course.Study ContextThe rehabilitation engineering course was piloted in Spring 2017. Preliminary research showedthat students developed aspects of design empathy, as well as recognition of the importance ofaccessibility and universal design [14]. The course was offered again in Fall 2019 and enrolled24 fourth- and fifth- year biomedical engineering and mechanical engineering students.

In Fall 2015 the college had 220 full-timefaculty, 35 were members of minorities and 13 were international. At this time 17 percent of ourU.S. students identify as students of color (Hispanic/Latino, 6 percent; Asian-American, 4percent; African-American, 5 percent; multiracial, 2 percent) [9]. In 2015 our engineeringdivision college was recognized by the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) forits commitment to diversity and inclusivity. At this time the student body within the engineeringdivision consisted of 36% women and nearly 25% identified within the underrepresented group,approximately double the national average [10].Over the
