outcomes, and interpersonal outcomes. Empathic processesresemble the skills dimension of Walther et al.’s [6] model of empathy in engineering andmanifest through perspective-taking, self/other awareness, and related skills. As this modelemphasizes, however, one’s orientation to others and one’s behavioral dispositions also play akey role in determining whether one will empathize. Thus, as one example, numerous factorsinfluence ‘team member understanding.’ Moreover, as Davis’s model emphasizes, this type ofintrapersonal understanding can promote interpersonal action or behavior.Second, empathy can promote positive teaming environments. Such positive teamingenvironments may be evident through a lack of negative valences, such as limited frustration

First, we asked ourselveswhether the authors actually positioned themselves as engineering researchers or engineers -what were the strategies they use, and did they appropriately signal membership in thatcommunity. For instance, scientists are expected to use the language of uncertainty and to avoidoverstating their claims when discussing the

allow as little as half a year. WhenEC 2000 abandoned credit-hour bean counting, the language shifted to require “adequateattention and time” for general education subjects (while retaining numerical requirements of ayear for fundamental science and math courses and a year and a half of engineering content).Nevertheless, regardless of whether one casts EC 2000’s advancements for liberal education ofengineers as meager, incremental, or transformative, there is no doubt that the current proposedchanges, by omitting the requirement of “adequate attention and time” for educational breadth,drops the floor on well-rounded education of engineers. This change threatens to send thecountry back not just 20 years to the 1990s before EC 2000, but more than

The obdurate habit of over-specification cansimply manifest itself in different ways—although we ought to consider in the same light TF-3’s ownrecommendation to include within Criterion 3 only those outcomes that can be reliably achieved.11As already alluded to above, what stymies effective solutions in engineering education is hardly limited tothe disciplinary habits and boundaries of engineering; the reasons go back to the structure of U.S.educational institutions and the engineering profession itself. With regards to the latter, engineers shouldstop worrying that theirs is somehow an incomplete profession. Sociologists

Both require the viewerto understand the exact words or depictions (signifiers) while also “reading between the lines” tointerpret indirect meanings embedded in the sign. Signifieds, for example, can include sarcasm,irony, absurdity, double entendre, or other implied meanings. These meanings can only beunderstood through the reader’s awareness both of the social context and of the fact that thesignifiers are not intended to stand alone.Signs are only interpretable with knowledge of social context; cartoons therefore require viewersto understand the norms and debates in the
