insights from the humanities that couldinform their technical designs [3]. Their efforts, however, were met with some resistance fromstudents in the class, who struggled to appreciate the value of Shelley’s novel for their work asengineers. Although 59% of students surveyed at the end of the course conceded thatFrankenstein had “expanded their understanding of ethics,” only 11% claimed to have read it inits entirety, and several students commented that they found the novel neither enjoyable norespecially relevant to engineering practice [3].To address the challenge of how best to motivate engineering students to invest in a criticalreading of Frankenstein, I drew on insights from the book How Learning Works: 7 ResearchBased Principles for Smart

annual conference. The Engineering and Humanities Special Interest Group(SIG) is one of approximately twelve SIGs operating as communities of practice within CEEA-ACÉG that bring together individuals working and researching within a particular area. TheEngineering and Humanities SIG in particular aims to create space for those who study theintersections of engineering and humanities, those who teach at these intersections, and non-engineers who bring their perspectives to engineering environments. As in most large academicorganizations, the SIG’s membership and engagement is not necessarily representative of thewider landscape of Canadian engineering education. While our SIG aims to reflect the work ofscholars, teachers and practitioners at the

no harm,” meaningthat the best course of action is one that does not hurt others, even if it means doing nothing or a minorchange. Many of the ideas mentioned in this section are ideas that students learned about in theirintroductory design courses. Another student also mentioned how the idea of empathy can also connect tothe Jesuit tradition of educating the whole person. Specifically, they talked about the practice of“examenitos,” or short contemplative reflections about their day, that allowed them to “practicemindfulness, gratitude, and reimagine our own experiences and conditions… all of which create a moreholistic brand of engineering (Mystical Mango).” Humanity. The idea of humanity is highly related to the idea of empathy

Prior to joining Embry-Riddle, she was a National Science Foundation/American Society for Engineering Education engineering postdoctoral fellow at the University of New Hampshire. She received her Ph.D. in Engineering Education at Purdue University, where she was an NSF Graduate Research Fellow and the winner of Purdue’s 2021 Three Minute Thesis competition for her work in developing research and courses on engineering thriving. She also received dual bachelor’s degrees in Industrial Engineering and Human Development and Family Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

]. Developed within theapplied disciplines of organizational theory and project management, engaged scholarshiprequires researchers to cooperatively interact with practitioner-stakeholders to identify,understand, and improve upon “complex social problems that often exceed our limitedcapabilities [as researchers] to study on our own” [18, p. 37]. Organizational engaged scholarshiphas been likened to design-based research in education, wherein education researchers team upwith a variety of education practitioner-stakeholders to iteratively advance the theory and designof an intervention to a complex educational problem, and is considered useful for researchersseeking to advance both scientific and practical knowledge together [17]; [20].Participants
