the work of Flanagan et al.'s [5] work-in-progresspaper that examined how adding empathy into first-year engineering curriculum changedstudents’ perspectives on the role of an engineer. Engineering design revolves fundamentallyaround meeting user needs and to offer solutions that meet diverse needs, engineers need tocultivate an understanding of various perspectives. Empathy plays a crucial role in enablingengineers to consider the implications of their design decisions on people thoroughly, andemploying empathy can effectively address sociocultural and political aspects of designs. Thisnecessitates its inclusion in engineering classrooms. Flanagan et al. found that through theincorporation of empathy into the curriculum, students begin to

Using this device, student teams are introduced to electronics bydiscovering how various switches operate, and by designing a process to test the electricalconnections. To introduce mechanical design, teams are given a problem that requires the use ofa switch. They spend some time brainstorming ideas for their design, and produce a conceptdrawing, including the mechanical details for their team’s device.

IntroductionTraditionally, the humanities have played a limited role in STEM education1; yet, there are naturalconnections between the humanities and STEM, which may be used to deepen students’ educationalexperiences2, 3. In the exploration of these links and modes of learning, the Texas Tech University(TTU) Honors College has developed an interdisciplinary curriculum that incorporates both the artsand the humanities and STEM. Unlike other iterations of this technique, namely STEAM, wherearts are included to help promote more creative problem-solving and innovative thinking, thisapproach uses the arts and humanities as the foundation and impetus for STEM learning. Thisapproach has been coined Humanities-Driven STEM (HDSTEM). HDSTEM provides studentsbenefits that

Details documenting the evolution of arepresentative inventory item will be highlighted in this paper.IntroductionIn the early days of engineering education, students completed one or two years ofdrafting training as part of their curriculum. At the time, this made sense because it wasengineers who created the drawings and other documentation needed to construct ormanufacture their designs. Gradually, drafting became the job of technicians asengineers focused on the more complicated aspects of engineering analysis; however,engineers remained principally involved in the creation of the design
