authors,but its presentation and analysis is left for subsequent papers.ConclusionsEmpathy as well as innovation-related self-efficacy and interests are believed to help engineerscreate solutions that better match the needs of their end-users, whether they were designing in thecontext of a larger firm or a startup. However, research on the effect of engineering education onthe development of empathy is virtually nonexistent, and even studies linking empathy toinnovation outcomes are rare. This study takes a first step towards evidence-based practice bydemonstrating that graduate students’ self-reported empathy (as measured by perspective takingtendencies) as well as their innovation self-efficacy (as measured by confidence in design

This paper presents a framework called CCAARR (Choosing, Conditioning, Assessing,Allocating, Realizing, and Recognizing) for nurturing such a symbiotic relationship betweenfaculty development and institution building (Figure 1). Its use can help in identifying potentialleaders among college faculty members to successfully carry out institution building activities.Faculty development activity and institution building activities, in that sense, support each otheror have a “symbiotic relationship” between them.

In this section, we introduce the BuildingUndergraduate Interventions for Learning and Development (BUILD) Model, a framework. TheBUILD model is based on existing frameworks, models, and effective practices for the design oflearning environments and interventions in out-of-class activities. Prior research has provided thenecessary insight into specific elements of learning environment[45], institutional elements [46],and best practices [47,48] that can be combined to create a comprehensive framework useful

This study contributesto the body of knowledge on how to and what prepares engineering students to be ready for theglobal job market and society they will face once they graduate by understanding how studentscome to appreciate cultural differences to interact effectively with different others in the contextof a global engineering course.

However, as with the 4S and theCIS, the critical vision scale is also science oriented, and thus administering a modified versionof the scale would likely find much stronger results.LimitationsThese results confirm that the 4S does not function poorly for Engineering/Technology, but thedeflated effect sizes indicate that a more refined measure of engineering identity and engineeringcareer intentions are still needed. The age of the data (collected in 2010) and the focus on sciencestudents are also drawbacks of using the current data in this analysis
