pluralistic. An instrument that examines emphatictendencies in the context of engineering does not exist. Using the interpersonal reactivity (IRR)model [1] of empathy’s dimensions (Figure 1), we created the Empathic Design TendencySurvey (Appendix A). These items were then evaluated with experts outside the project team andfound to be in alignment with the framework. Using this instrument, we collected survey data attwo time points: February 2019 and September 2019. While we collected survey data fromindividual students, we also developed a new metric to determine team emphatic potential,namely, “collective empathic tendency.” Self-oriented + Affective Other-oriented + Affective Empathic Distress (experiencing

the protocol of the sensor array instrumentation.As a team, they helped their professor successfully continue the hunt to answer the query ofwhether a Mach Effect (inertial reaction force) is actually detectable. Due partly to their effortsthe science around this instrument is now quite robust and this novel device provides consistent,replicable and predictable results. During the summer research, the students got to apply much oftheir theoretical electrical engineering training to a real-world application in sensor arrays andinstrumentation.Background and MotivationThe roles that our undergraduate engineers played in this research during the summer of 2018was written up in a recent (2019) ASEE Zone 1 conference publication.

Prior to the module, students wereintroduced to information on an existing environmental problem (i.e., the great Pacific garbagepatch) and answered homework questions on how traditional engineering interventions havebeen inadequate to solve the problem. The first part of the module focused on the materialproperties of single-use plastic straws that have resulted in their ubiquitous and environmentallydeleterious use. Students were then introduced to the Social Impact Analysis (SIA) tool,implemented in Microsoft Excel, which uses United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)and the Society of Environmental

help them see how projects undertaken in the course labscomplement and build on themes addressed in the weekly lectures. In what follows I elaborate how I developed the new patent assignment for a pilotSummer semester version of the course in 2019 and how it was later implemented in the maincourse in the Fall 2019 semester. I also explain how students at once welcomed and resistedworking with the SDGs and the effects that reorienting the patent assignment around them hadon their perception of the course’s value. I conclude that both qualitative and quantitative data instudent course evaluations suggest that reorienting course lectures and assignments around theSDGs played an important role in increasing students’ appreciation of the
West Texas A&M University AbstractAt West Texas A&M University, students in the engineering programs are actively engaged inresearch projects designed to get them involved in global collaboration through problem solving.The project was initiated when a group of 13 senior engineering students from the Aviation Instituteat FH JOANNEUM in Graz, Austria were commissioned in fall 2018 to conceptually design anagricultural spraying drone. The project was continued in spring 2019 by a group of 5 seniormechanical engineering students from West Texas A&M University. The students from theAviation Institute were divided into three groups and were asked to deliver their conceptual designsof the

These preliminary findings aimed at notonly determining if the module should be continued in the future, but also at evaluating if themodule resulted in: (1) increased student engagement and interest in thermal fluids, (2) increasedlearning effectiveness compared to traditional teaching methods, and (3) increased understandingof how topics within thermal fluids are connected. Exam scores between course sections thatcompleted the module and those that did not were also compared to provide quantitative dataregarding increased learning effectiveness. Preliminary findings
