changing the status quo of higher education.Project-Based Learning (PBL) offers promise for providing engineering students an avenue forbridging this “disconnect” by providing practice solving complex, open-ended problems withsocio-technical contexts. PBL is a pedagogy that centers curriculum around projects that involvestudents in design, problem solving, decision making, and other investigative activities. Studentsengaged in PBL typically work autonomously over extended periods of time to create realisticproducts or presentations4. These assignments provide opportunities for students to solvecomplex, open-ended, socio-technical problems, and to practice serving specific groups ofpeople in our society3-6. In addition, PBL enriches students

As Downey et al.

However, misconceptions could lead to impairments in students’ ability tounderstand and learn new material [2].Two main forces are driving students’ transfer out of engineering: students’ lack of interest orloss of interest in engineering, and students’ difficulty in their math courses [4-7]. Helpingstudents succeed in their math courses is essential to improving the retention of students inengineering.

A better understanding of student emotions may help educators designcurriculum and pedagogy to mitigate the effects of negative emotions, and to promote positiveemotions. This improved curriculum and pedagogy may eventually help students maximize theirlearning and performance in programming courses.2.

Understanding technical literature is challenging even for the very engineerswho are versed in the vocabulary and procedures of their discipline. Hence, training non-engineer students to use this literature is a substantial challenge.

Like many of itspredecessors, Eggert’s paper only mentions “empathy” once when describingprofessionals’ interpersonal style, which includes “empathy, tolerance, honesty, trust, andpersonal integrity” [17]. As part of a person’s “style,” empathy is considered apsychological trait, one that reflects an engineering designer’s personality. The concept “empathic design,” coined by Leonard and Rayport, had gainedprominence prior to its presence in engineering education [18].
