or for real world studies of human power generation during exercise.Makerspaces and living laboratories are examples of how universities are actively investing inmore hands-on educational missions outside of the classroom, but these spaces may be used forcore research activities as well.Living laboratories seek to build on the extensive research support for team-based, active,project-based, and design-based learning to create spaces that support hands-on, open-endedlearning throughout the curriculum. The Integrated Teaching Learning Laboratory (ITLL) at theUniversity of Colorado Boulder is a pioneering example of such a space. Opened in 1997, theITLL supports a computer simulation lab, integrated networks of experimental equipment, twolarge

presentedto detail the existing research performed in the empathy domain. 2.1. Design Education in Engineering CurriculaEngineering education prepares students for industry by teaching them competencies within theirspecific field. However, research has indicated that engineering education often fails to considersome of the soft skills necessary to excel as a graduate engineer 13. These include teamwork,interpersonal skills, communication skills, and emotional intelligence such as empathy 4. Manyresearchers indicate that empathy is essential in both informal and professional settings 4. Yet, ithas been found that many of the current students and recent graduates pursuing engineeringfields exhibit lower levels of empathy 14. This disparity can
