, especially in STEM-related programs 6,7.Nonetheless, the soft skills necessary to succeed in engineering are highlighted in accreditingagencies such as ABET 8,9To mitigate the lack of empathy, employers will often hire engineers who share empathy with theproduct’s target user. For example, the automotive industry has recognized that while femalesbuy 52% and have a significant influence on 85% of all car purchasing decisions, less than 20%of the automotive workforce is comprised of females 10. To address this disparity, theautomotive industry is actively seeking means to increase female employees within variousautomotive sectors. Likewise, it is important that engineering careers that design forhandicapped or elderly target users attract handicapped

The "client" for the project was represented by the multidisciplinary research team (including views from an agricultural economist, a systems engineer, the director of a renewable energy outreach effort for farming coops, and a policy analyst).

Tenure is typically granted after a teacher or researcher hassuccessfully completed a probationary period and performed with adequate distinction, asdefined by the relevant institution [6]. This definition of adequate distinction however, is largelyambiguous at many institutions. Furthermore, policies, procedures, and criteria for the evaluationof teaching in higher education contribute to the marginalization of teaching within the rewardstructures of universities and colleges [5]. Many institutions unintentionally marginalize teachingby over-emphasizing scholarly research and funding. When this occurs, oddly enough
