Engineering students from Old Dominion University joined the effort, first as volunteersand then as capstone design students.The project began with significant community engagement which was orchestrated through thecivic league. Students were thus able to pin-point flooding, shoreline erosion, and the rates atwhich basements were taking on water and develop an urgent level of motivation to helpcommunity members with whom they became acquainted. Simultaneously, students met withacademics and area professionals with expertise in pieces of the puzzle (preservationists, marinebiologists, landscape architects, oceanographers, and hydrologists among them) and with cityplanners and storm

professional development of a competent biomedical engineer workforce that can effectivelyaccomplish emphatic innovation, and one that can frame and re-frame problems through theinnovation process. Our research examined how engineering students empathize with users anddevelop empathic abilities that have implications on their design innovation skills. The projectteam developed empathic innovation workshops and embedded them into existing biomedicalengineering capstone courses. Data were collected using surveys, student project reports,ideation tasks, and observations. These workshops resulted in significant changes in students’emphatic tendencies. From our qualitative studies, we also conjectured that the overall empathicpotency of a student design

Such activities include structured practice, having students work on projects, havingstudents engage in new experiences, and also having students reflect. Educational scholarship isuseful for advancing conversations related to specific activities and/or relationships amongactivities. In our work, we have been focused on advancing conversations related to the use ofstudent reflection in engineering education.Reflection can be understood as a form of thinking that involves stepping out, thinking about,and connecting forward. Defined in this way, reflection can be seen as distinct from otheractivities mentioned above and also a very broad category of possible activity. In prior work
