The ethical dimensions of engineering work are rarely visibleat the level of individual projects or in the decontextualized environments of engineeringclassrooms and laboratories.

Because I'm thinking, what makes me feel good is solving a problem but that's not necessarily what makes you feel good right now.Outside of conflicting mindsets, many students saw a lack of utility or opportunity for empathyin their work. From their perspectives, their work had little to do with other people (e.g., end-users) and therefore empathy did not come into play. From Julie’s work at a water treatmentplant to Mike’s time in the fabrication laboratory to Donovan’s experiments with fish oil andwater emulsions, students did not see how empathy for others
