The full professor is a serial entrepreneur, with over sixcompanies, while the assistant teaching professor is an expert in engineering design andeducation, and the lecturer is a professional working in industry. These broad skills andexpertise have allowed the professors to provide insights into entrepreneurship, academia, andindustry, which highlight the various potential career opportunities the engineering studentswill engage in upon graduation.Table 2: Course learning outcomes and corresponding ABET

In addition, the results of numerousstudies demonstrate that, beyond providing skills required by ABET standards, informationliteracy instruction results in engineering students finding higher quality information sources,developing better research questions, more deeply evaluating the credibility of the sources theygather, and generally producing better research. While all of this is encouraging, the literaturealso asserts, repeatedly, that effective instruction in information literacy goes far beyond a single,generalized lecture provided by a librarian at the beginning of a semester. In order forinformation literacy instruction to be truly effective, it must be integrated into the course work,through multiple instruction

Also, more than 62% of students are willing to use the simulation tools in their futurework in industry in addition to 35% that may use it. The post-lecture results show that studentsthink that introducing new simulation tools is very beneficial for their future careers as engineers.This is a good outcome when compared with the pre-lecture survey which shows that about 80%of students in this class

Students would have liked the opportunity to learn at their own pace and to havetime to experiment with the technology. This could be fixed by giving students their ownlicenses to Fusion360 and the PocketNC simulator so they can work from home.

Outside of engineering, disciplines such as social work explicitlyteach empathy and utilize it on a regular basis to make their students successful in this field,again showing evidence of the ability for educators to design learning environments to helpstudents develop empathy and apply it to their chosen careers [12]. As stated by Walther, Miller,and Kellam [13], three challenges of designing learning environments to teach a trans-disciplinary content such as empathy are: “(i) the danger of disciplinary separation of content,(ii) the challenges of students’ gradual transition to accepting a concept such as empathy asrelevant to engineering, and (iii) the role of epistemological differences for both students andinstructors.” Further research
