design.However, some educators have described an important empathic requisite or antecedent:designers must adopt a user-centric mindset. For example, Postma et al. discussed moving designstudents from an “expert” mindset, where the designer thinks they know best, to a “participatory”mindset, where the designer perceives their self and user(s) both as experts.48 Forming thismindset is important, as student designers who hold an expert mindset tend to exclude theirproject partner throughout a design process.49 Hence, educators ought to prompt students to thinkabout engineering with a user as opposed to for a user12,50 as this may catalyze the utilization ofempathy while simultaneously alleviating absolutist/positivistic biases.414.2 Service

Accompanying these developments in the Technical College Sector was therise of an Association for Liberal Education that had its own research officer [9].It will not have escaped the notice of the reader that no mention is made of universitystudents in technological studies receiving such treatment. Why should a person on adegree course be treated differently? The concept of liberal education has a long historythat can be traced back to the Greeks, and Davies provides an all too brief history of thedevelopment of liberal education from those times [8.ch 1]. From the Greeks and theRomans we get the notions of being free to learn, and as Davies notes
become reflective engineers who usetheir phronesis to take conflicts and dilemmas more seriously in order to meet the ultimate goalof engineering: to find ways to make the world a better place.Reflection in Engineering Education Literature Various forms of reflection have surely been practiced and promoted by engineeringeducators around the world for centuries. However, considering that “engineering educationresearch (EER) generally lacked definition as a discipline until the late 1990s and early 2000s”(Johri & Olds, 2014) relevant literature on graduate-level engineering education prior to the1990’s can be difficult to find. This review will focus primarily on literature of the past decadebecause it is both more readily available

, Engineering, and Medicine echo Guilford et al.’s claim in their 2017report, stating that “there is a paucity of evidence on the possible relationships between intra- andinterpersonal competencies and the success of students intending to major in science, technology,engineering, and mathematics fields” (p. 72). Overall, the largely underexplored studies onthriving competencies for engineering education populations conceal the relationships betweencompetencies that support engineering students to thrive.Consistent with the underexplored nature of thriving in undergraduate engineering studentpopulations, uniting previously disparate lines of research would offer insights into the bigpicture of engineering thriving. For example, we know that students who
engineering student learns how language code translates into math code, the studentcan further develop his or her sentence-level skill set, learning how to combine, invert,manipulate basic sentence units into advanced sentences.The following is an illustration of sentence algebra being taught using engineeringcontent/context: Consider the sentence-algebra equation for a basic sentence (B2) … B2 = (Ns * Mn) + (Vt) + (No * Mn) where: Ns = subject noun word(s) Vt = transfer action verb word(s) No = object noun word(s) Mn = noun modifier word(s) Now, as complement to

] analyzed the “low-choice culture” of engineering curricula, particularly incontrast to other fields of study. In the context of new research demonstrating the value of selfdetermination or autonomy for students in motivating learning, enhancing self-efficacy, andsupporting persistence, the relative inflexibility of engineering curricula stood out starkly. Withinindividual courses, studies have shown the “power of choice” to positively influence studentoutcomes, for example, when students may choose from among a menu of design projects[45, 46], and recommendations have been made for the design of self-determination supportiveengineering-student learning experiences [47, 48].
