sequentially throughout astudent’s academic career and which researchers can use as a guide for exploring thedevelopment of empathy among engineering students. However, before we do this, we first mustconceptualize this multi-faceted and complex phenomenon.2. What is Empathy?Empathy is a nuanced phenomenon. It has been labeled as a construct, ability, skill, disposition,intellectual virtue, and much more. According to Batson,15 there are eight distinct concepts thatscholars have called empathy, each of which merits distinction. Batson described the first ofthese concepts as “knowing another person’s internal state, including his or her thoughts orfeelings.” The emphasis on knowing another’s mind is akin to what some scholars have called“empathic

Classroom instruction can provide a certain amount of practical knowledge, butthe forty-hour a week job brings the entire textbook learning into a proper perspective. It is withthis information in mind, that a systematic approach to provide a background for dealing withcommunication issues was begun in the Cooperative Education Division of the College ofEngineering at Michigan State University.1.

One areathat has gained considerable momentum in recent years is the effort to promote development ofan entrepreneurial mindset (EM) in undergraduate engineering students. A driving force behindthis momentum is the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN). KEEN is a group ofover 40 institutions united in the mission to promote entrepreneurial-minded learning inengineering students. In KEEN, EM is construed to have three primary components, the 3C’s ofCuriosity: Connection; and Creating Value. Recent efforts

ofa given field.2 As a result, some students make uninformed decisions when choosing a major and are less likely topersist in their engineering program.3 One approach to this problem is to provide a common first-year engineering(FYE) program that all engineering students are required to complete, regardless of whether or not they arrive with aparticular engineering major in mind. This approach has been widely adopted and nearly 60% of engineeringprograms in the U.S. have established a FYE course sequence.4With the increasing popularity of FYE programs, it is important to understand how they affect students’ major choiceand their intention to remain in engineering majors. FYE courses are typically the first courses that students enroll inwith

, and do as much as we can. –RyanThe nature of service-learning is that someone is doing the serving (the engineer/servant), andsomeone is being served (the client/beneficiary). Students thus expressed that they thought thatwhat they were doing was for “real people” and motivated them to work harder than they mighthave otherwise. Related to students’ awareness of others is the distinction between a project whichthey undertake for a general sake of engineering excellence of performance as opposed tosomething which in their mind will clearly “help people” and has a “higher purpose” thantraditional engineering projects.

However,the mind consists of three separate domains: cognitive, affective and conative (Hilgard 1980 andTallon 1997). By focusing only on one of the three, students who don’t fit the typical mold mayfeel marginalized and discouraged from completing an engineering degree. We suspect that byexploring this idea we may

Gesturesthat occur during engineering activities often convey some of engineers’ practical knowledge innonverbal forms as complements that enrich their verbal description and or symbolicallyrepresented ways of knowing and communicating.As a separate modality from speech, gestures’ relationship to speech can be either concordant—redundant in the meaning they each express, or discordant—offering complementaryinformation about one’s state of knowledge. In the learning sciences, careful analyses has shownthat instances of gesture and speech that are discordant often reveal states when a person isliterally of “two minds” and thinking of a phenomenon in two different ways
