As a result, introductory undergraduate level MSEM class (with or without lab component)has become part of traditional non-MSEM engineering programs such as mechanical andindustrial engineering. In some cases, this type of class is a required component of anundergraduate course curriculum.

The pillars can be traced throughout a curriculum to ensure empathy education iscontinuously integrated. Therefore, each model can be used to the advantage of engineering educators in avariety of ways and course context should be considered for the selection of a given model.Pedagogical StrategiesIn this section, instructional activities for empathy education that have been implemented in BME coursesare

The older curriculum had become outdated, was notteaching our students what we thought they needed, and was not preparing the students for therest of the mechanical engineering program and beyond.As our graduating students completed exit surveys, common criticisms of the program included aperceived lack of software availability and a deep knowledge of how to use the software, lack ofpreparation for constructing prototypes (mechanical and/or electrical), and lack of product designinstruction and practice. In an effort to address these problems, two new courses were developedfor 1st year students [1] and a 2nd year

rote learning because students can rapidly useknowledge to solve an issue at hand while internalizing the minimal amount of essential andrelevant information. Because they do not have to repeat the same material in several areas,integrated content also frees up students' time to study new information. This improves thinkingspeed and turns the brain into a programming machine rather than making learning dull. Apartfrom obtaining engagement for learners’ interdisciplinary integration has some advantages forinstructors as well. Teachers are familiar with interdisciplinary information in their subject areas,making it simple to synthesize and condense knowledge into primary ideas that are distinct fromone another and are easy to visualize
