recognized as a critical professional skill in support ofengineering design work. As such, there are a growing number of curricular initiatives to supportthe development of engineering students' empathy as a design skill [14]. These initiatives span avariety of approaches, including stakeholder engagement in human-centered design, service-learning projects, and curriculum on ethical impacts of our engineering work [18]. However,within engineering, students identified empathy as a critical interpersonal skill for buildingrelationships in their everyday lives, yet struggled to see how empathy is involved in theirengineering work [19]. This disconnect highlights the importance of emphasizing empathy as notonly an engineering design skill, but also as a

We are following standard coding recommendations (e.g., [37]) to ensurean ethical approach to our data.Preliminary FindingsIn relation to our research questions, we asked instructors in the first interviews about theprogram’s impact on their instructional practices, perceptions, and beliefs about learning andteaching. We describe here the most relevant preliminary patterns that emerged.Conceptual and pedagogical tools appropriationIn relation to the first research question, we observed some glimpses of tool appropriation.Regarding the conceptual pedagogical tools, one of the topics that emerged from more than asingle instructor

Science foundation ITIP (Integrative Themes in Physiology) project, thefollowing lessons could be drawn: Lesson 1: Many faculty are interested in improving their teaching Lesson 2: Lack of instructor time was a formidable obstacle to translating interest to action Lesson 3: Providing readily usable course materials did not facilitate instructional reform because the materials did not integrate easily into the existing courses Lesson 4: Departmental and institutional obstacles played a significant role in the failure of the site test phase of the ITIP project Lesson 5: Technological limitations and the cost of supplies can be obstacles to instructional innovation Lesson 6: Ethical requirements for conducting the ITIP project were
use of student-centered teaching practices [7].Another factor that appears to be distinctive in the context of Canadian engineering schools andpostsecondary education in general is the increase of teaching-stream faculty members within theacademic workforce over the past two decades. Unlike the United States, where nearly 70 percent of faculty members have teaching as their primary responsibility [8], the full-time,continuing faculty appointment with the primary responsibilities limited to teaching-relatedactivities was introduced in the early 2000s to research-intensive Canadian universities, out ofeducational, ethical, and pragmatic considerations [9, 10]. These teaching-stream facultymembers are known for having a positive impact on the
