everyday life. Solutions to them willrequire interaction and collaboration between engineers and those from the broader liberal arts.Similarly, there is a need for those in other fields to have basic understanding of engineering.This need for a basic understanding is an outgrowth of the degree to which technology permeatesand shapes modern society. Without an understanding of how and why technology is developedand implemented, it becomes an almost magical black box. A lack of understanding of howsuch technology functions and is developed is antithetical to the enlightenment idea of educatingindividuals so they understand the world around them. An understanding of the world is thebasis on which the modern concepts of the liberal arts are based

Kitchener’s model exhibited such openness.36 Engineering education scholars can begindeveloping empathy for effective collaboration among themselves, with their students, andamong their students by some combination of conflict resolution techniques, communicationtraining programs, and team-skills training.Lastly, given the growth of online education and the technological manifestations that allowinteraction by virtual media, some scholars have focused on how empathy functions betweencollaborators interacting online. For example, Nguyen and Canny72 found that empathymanifests differently in two types of video interactions. When they compared between “head-only” and “upper-body” framing, they found that the latter produced a significantly higher
