, andconversations within the research team upon conclusion of the course.Concept MapsConcept maps are used in these courses to meet the first learning objective. Concept mappinghelps students meta-cognitively arrange their understanding of a complex web of ideas. Thishigher level form of thinking is a habit of mind essential to engineers, and as such, it is importantto help students develop this meta-cognitive capacity within the classroom. Concept maps wereused within both pilot courses at two universities during the Fall 2013 school semester. Eachcourse asked students to develop their own concept maps depicting their understanding ofsustainability. Students developed their concept maps once at the beginning of the semester and asecond time at the end

thelight bulbs went off.Radical Disciplinary Mixing – Brain, Mind and CultureEngineers typically take some number of courses outside of the sciences to fulfilluniversity and ABET breadth requirements. Unfortunately, while they typically performwell, many engineering students do not take these courses seriously. They put on theirhumanities and social science “hats” on in these courses, but then quickly take them offagain once they are back to their engineering life. Those who do gain some lastinginsights keep them compartmentalized.The Brain, Mind and Culture course was co-taught by the author and a professor ofcomparative humanities.

However, before we do this, we first mustconceptualize this multi-faceted and complex phenomenon.2. What is Empathy?Empathy is a nuanced phenomenon. It has been labeled as a construct, ability, skill, disposition,intellectual virtue, and much more. According to Batson,15 there are eight distinct concepts thatscholars have called empathy, each of which merits distinction. Batson described the first ofthese concepts as “knowing another person’s internal state, including his or her thoughts orfeelings.” The emphasis on knowing another’s mind is akin to what some scholars have called“empathic

areoversimplified, false dichotomies of social divides (i.e., “wealth and poverty, health andsickness, food and hunger”). Such complex conditions are not binary on-off states but rather acontinuum that exists both within nations and across the globe. Who goes hungry, for example,is as much a function of politics, culture, economics and ethics as it is of agricultural production.Though suggesting that “engineers must frame their work with the ultimate goal of universalaccessibility in mind,” no attention is given to how engineers might go about contributing to thesolution of such complex problems (other than, à la Moses, pushing forward with technologicalprogress).It is beyond the scope of this essay to examine every one of the fourteen specific

The high stress from this culture ofsuffering and socially acceptable hazing in engineering may negatively impact student mentalhealth.Mental health of undergraduate students is a growing concern. Roughly 40% of college students(N = 62171) surveyed in the 2018-2019 Healthy Minds study report having been diagnosed witha mental health disorder in their lifetime [5].

Her family owned a restaurant in Mexico and they needed the stove as soon as possible. To solve this problem, Laura and her family designed a stove made out of inexpensive raw materials, including adobe, empty coffee and soup cans, barro (a mixture of clay materials), and a pipe. They also repurposed an antique washing machine, called chaca-chaca (as it is commonly known in Mexico for the sound it makes during the washing cycle), by disassembling it and using
