This suggests that teaching students to be socially aware of their role andwork as engineers beyond technical efficacy is important in developing their empathic design ability.Thus, Kong et al.’s [12] work provides specific instructional activities designed to teach students how toactively incorporate empathic tendencies into their design process.Eliciting Empathy Through Personal ReflectionWhile the instructional methods previously discussed are embedded in elements of traditional BMEcurriculums (design, teamwork, and ethics), Lunn et al.

EngineeringAppropriate Engineering is a holistic approach to engineering design that incorporates social,political, cultural, environmental, economic and human empowerment issues as central, alongwith technical considerations, to the process. For example, many rural inhabitants in much ofAfrica have low incomes and cannot afford to buy batteries for their portable radios. However,hand-cranked radios, which use a mainspring to drive a little dynamo, are highly functional anddesired because of their low cost. These radios allow a small village to “zip back into theInformation Age with a twist of the wrist.”9Many Appropriate Engineering principles have evolved from the work of British economist E.

Since the early 1970’s, this PBL approach has been successful inmedical education at many institutions. There are very few engineering programs that have fullyimplemented a similar model. Are we hampered from adopting more PBL teaching models inEngineering programs because of our fundamental conceptual model of what is an engineeringeducation, and, ultimately, what is an engineer?
