If a computer is used inthe communication of multiple individuals, how could misuse be detected and controlled?After the opportunity areas were defined, the teams envisioned future scenarios that illustrate animproved operator task flow with the integration of mixed reality technology. A head-mounteddisplay (HMD), the Microsoft HoloLens, was chosen to allow hands free operation. As part ofthe multidisciplinary teamwork, the technical limitations from the mechanical engineering pointof view had to be understood as well as the current limitations regarding the software andhardware of the HMD device.Follow up conversations with engineering lead to a more thorough, holistic understanding

This may be true; who would not hirea Stanford University graduate simply because the computer science program at Stanford Univer-sity is not accredited by ABET? At the same time, conforming to accreditation standards and peerreview would have helped Stanford or University of Texas avoid headlines that revealed that theircomputer science students have been graduating without taking course work in ethics, somethingABET accreditation standards have required for decades 7 .

Cech [1] sees a culture of disengagement where technical skills are valued more thansocietal concerns, while Foor and Walden [2] cite resistance to diversity efforts, highlighting thenecessity for early and proactive DEIB involvement in education.

The integration of empathyinto engineering education and practice enhances the ability of engineers to design solutions thatare not only technically sound but also socially responsible and user-centered. Empathy helpsengineers understand and address the diverse needs of users, leading to more inclusive andeffective design solutions. This perspective is supported by various studies that highlight the roleof empathy in engineering education and practice [2], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. Empathy is considered a necessary interpersonal skill for modern engineers, supportingcreativity, ethical decision-making, and collaboration.
