[10] Focus group data support these resultswith students providing positive feedback on instructor access and negative feedback oninstructor unavailability with comments such as , “Improve the communication with us.” Thus,the FYEP model is robust enough to be imported into a college of engineering with less seasonedinstructors or a smaller instructor pool.

ofalumni noted that a required survey-course, such as 2601 Fundamentals of EnvironmentalEngineering, is specifically designed to cover a broad cross-section of the field, andtherefore many of the alumni noted that it is difficult for such a course to be viewed as“relevant” or “practical” because the content of a required survey course lacks thespecificity to achieve relevance or practicality. And finally, a number of alumni notedthat sophomores have difficulty viewing “teachers as peers”, and therefore, the one-on-one experience of research was significantly more powerful in promoting mutual respectamong students and the author.

Much of the research on empathy and its relatedterminology [20] is focused on teaching empathy to students and how students become moreempathetic [21]–[23]. For example, Walther et al.
