The math and science core was also kept intact with the exception that the originalstatistics course taken from Statistics Department was deemed no longer necessary as discussedbelow. In order to ensure that the students still took the same level of math as before, the coursewas made into a math elective. The students now have multiple choices for a third advancedmath course based on their interest including vector calculus, linear algebra, and differentialequations. Previously, the students were required to take two College of Engineering courses,engineering ethics and engineering economics. The ethics course has

The current study, however, sampled only enteringengineering students, so in this paper we focus our discussion of engineering education change tothe first-year. Even before ABET 2000, many engineering colleges began to revamp the first-year engineering experience to include increased hands-on design, technical writing, oralpresentations, and team-based projects (Dally & Zhang, 1993; Dym, 1994; Augustine, 1997

Students also readabout engineering ethics, including ethical considerations in hardware and software quality.Class discussion of ethics case studies involving embedded systems provided students withrealistic scenarios and different perspectives. Computer and communication standards andtheir importance is another discussion topic, highlighting the many standards that studentsencountered in their embedded system design projects.

To increase the use of empathy inengineering design and engineering ethics, the incorporation of empathy case studies [9, 10],workshops [11], or modules [9, 12, 13] into the engineering curriculum has been investigated.Previous researchers have observed that inauthentic design experiences may prevent studentsfrom achieving desired learning outcomes [10
