mental health crisis inhigher education, just one driver of many to spur faculty to treat students with kindness. Thispaper explores issues of kindness in engineering and engineering education. What evidence isthere that kindness is congruent or incongruent with engineering education? What is the value ofconsidering kindness in comparison to the constructs of care, empathy, and compassion? Theperspectives of a variety of scholars are synthesized in this analysis. This is followed by concreteexamples of teaching and course practices that are emblematic of kindness, such ascompassionate pedagogy. The author argues that kindness is appropriate to embody withinengineering education, irrespective of externally obvious stressors like a global
and sociocultural norms as well as in classic studies of socialization in scientific andtechnical careers, which don’t mention novices’ existing knowledge, skills, or identities (e.g.,[17], [18], [19]). Despite ongoing critiques of this mindset as inaccurate and a barrier to learningand identity formation (e.g., [20], [21], [22]), some academic communities, such as theengineering research laboratory groups that co-author Wylie studies, continue to talk aboutnovices according to this model. This approach does great injustice to newcomers to expertcommunities as well as robs experts of opportunities to learn from “a wisdom of peripherality”([23] p. 216), i.e., the invaluable perspective of outsiders.

Dr. Berrett wanted to create a learningexperience what would build students’ self-confidence, get them out of their comfort zone, andpush them into potential STEM fields for a future career.

They found that the ‘technology canhave a profound impact on learning if it is used in a way that capitalizes on its unique ability to“interact” with students, provide them with immediate feedback, and facilitate interactionsamong students and between students and teaching staff.’ There was evidence that femalestudents benefited even more than males.Hedgcock and Rouwenhorst 9 looked at feedback in the context of using student responsesystems (or “clickers”) in business and marketing classes.

Oneargument for the importance of running student focused programs is to providemore opportunities for the individual students.

Finally,depending on their own background and training, graduate students may also have culturalcompetency skills well suited to mentor students from diverse backgrounds [8]. As such,undergraduate students have been found to highly value, and sometimes prefer, being mentoredby graduate students and postdocs [6].Existing research has primarily focused on how mentees benefit from mentoring relationships. Inrecent years, scholars have begun to also study how graduate students and postdoc mentors areaffected. In 2009, Dolan and Johnson found that mentors experienced “cognitive andsocioemotional growth, improved teaching and communication skills, and greater enjoyment oftheir own apprenticeship experience” [5
