empathy as a skill in engineering. Hence the model has variousattributes of empathy that can be developed as a skillset. While it was not created with teacherempathy specifically in mind, it appears to be a framework that is flexible and adaptable enoughto apply to others including, for example, engineering faculty [1]. The model (Figure 1) iscreated with three dynamic and interdependent layers of empathy: the skills dimension, theorientation dimension, and the being dimension. The following sections elaborate on these threedimensions. Figure 1: Model of Empathy Framework [1]Skills Dimension: The innermost layer is the skills dimension, which provides attributes thatform the base for “empathic communication, relationship

literature.Hsi, Linn, and Bell state in their paper The Role of Spatial Reasoning in Engineering and theDesign of Spatial Instruction, "…the social context of spatial strategy instruction oftenencourages anxiety and frustration rather than learning" [33]. Engineering educators can providelearning environments that foster positive social interaction in the classroom in addition tocontent knowledge and procedural knowledge. This work contributes to enabling engineeringeducators to be mindful of spatial abilities and anxiety related to spatial information inengineering.ConclusionWe reviewed the literature on information processing theory, spatial abilities, anxiety, and theirrelationships. Spatial ability includes visualization, organizing information

engineering teams and engineering students. Withthis in mind, the recommendations from our study can be implemented and studied inengineering classes that include projects. Researchers will want to investigate the followingquestions: 1. How can virtual teams integrate social interactions into a meeting structure to foster trust between team members? Is it best to include time for social interactions before, during, or after discussing project details? How do virtual teams establish comfortable environments for team members to have personal conversations? 2. What planning documents do engineering students find helpful for effective communication for establishing clear expectations and building trust? 3. What meeting

She enjoys serving as a ”communication coach” to students throughout the curriculum, and she’s especially excited to work with first year and senior students, as well as engineering project teams, as they navigate the more open-ended communication decisions involved in describing the products of open-ended design scenarios. She is also one of the faculty innovators behind Tandem, a tool to support teams with equity in teamwork.
