At the Colorado School of Mines, educatorsinvestigated the success of immersing students in the user experience as a method for teachingempathy. The program has seen a change in the way students approach problems after receivingthe immersive course, and instructors have noted better quality of student work with the program[7].

None of the descriptions ofethical development during their extracurricular activities seemed very well scaffolded,presenting an opportunity to faculty mentors and advisors of these activities. This can range fromdirecting particular activities (e.g., bringing in a guest speaker to talk about ethical issues at aprofessional society meeting) to more informal facilitation of reflection via discussion. Helpingstudents to be focus their attention (perception) and be mindful (processing) may be particularlyhelpful in leveraging extracurricular experiences into rich opportunities for ethical development.While the alumni shared stories of extracurricular settings that they

As a discipline at the intersection of traditional engineering disciplines, “mechatronicsand robotics engineering” (MRE) is fast-growing and future-minded but suffers similar diversityand inclusion challenges as engineering broadly. This paper explores these challenges andidentifies unique opportunities inherent to MRE to 1) increase the participation of women andunderrepresented minorities (URM) in MRE, and 2) use MRE to increase the participation ofwomen and URM in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) broadly

, I'd say that that sense of that - that technical social dualism is reinforced throughout the curriculum, but especially in the – in two large areas of the curriculum in engineering science courses and humanities and social science courses. So, while the technical engineering science courses focus and - and privilege the technical, the humanities and social science courses in many universities do just the opposite.The separation of technical and social within the curriculum reinforces the perceivedseparation in students’ minds, which is not reflective of engineering practice where the twohave to be considered simultaneously.Requirements vs. electiveSome interviewees also commented on the challenges associated with teaching ESI inrequired

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

Our specific goals were to: ● Define near- and long-term agenda items for intersectional research about the inclusion of TNB learners in computing for the Computing Education Research (CER) community ● Advance
