Research- Engineering Empathetic Engineers (E^3): Effects of the humanities on engineers' critical thinking and empathy skillsKeywords: Discourse Analysis, Interdisciplinary, Team Teaching, Post-secondary EducationTraditional disciplinary silos have separated engineering and the humanities, creating gaps inengineering students’ skills. Technical knowledge and aptitude have long been a mainstay inengineering education, whereas critical thinking, empathy, and ethical reasoning have been keyin the humanities. In an ever complex and interrelated world, society's grand challenges call forproblem-solving that provides technical innovations while considering and understanding thepeople involved and affected by that innovation.

A comprehensive study of1,872 undergraduate students enrolled at a large Midwestern U.S. research-universityidentified that nursing students have a significantly higher degree of empathy for othersas compared to students in a variety of other disciplines, including engineering.9This current study hinges upon the hypothesis that nursing theory provides a frameworkfor engineers from multiple disciplines to

contrast with undergraduate courses, research methodscourses for graduate students are becoming more common.[9-11] Compared to the socialsciences courses, the graduate engineering courses include such content as deliveringpresentations, scientific methods, research ethics, proposal writing, literature searchers, andreading the literature. Since these topics match up well with the research requirements ofundergraduate students, many similar topics would also complement an undergraduate researchcourse in engineering and hard sciences. In the current apprenticeship model of undergraduateresearch, the student simply goes to work in the laboratory. The strength of this model is thetraditional reliance on one-on-one mentoring between the faculty and
