. Page 26.127.4BadgingBadging, or microcredentialing, is a process by which students can be evaluated on skills and knowledgeat a more granular level than a whole course. In our current educational model, when an employerreviews the transcript of a student who received a B in a class, that employer cannot distinguish whetherthat student did everything in the course pretty well, or is particularly good at some skills yet unable tocomplete other tasks12. The concept with badges, and why there is increasing interest in the potential usein education, is the ability to measure particular skills that are encompassed in a class.Moreover, badging also works to incentivize students.

given by professors in the humanities. As the newFYS director in 2012, the second author inherited the challenge of a program staffed primarily bythe faculty in the college of the arts and sciences. In 2011-12 there were 74 sections of the then-equivalent of FYS 112;b only three of those sections were taught by faculty from the professionalschools (one from the college of engineering and two from the college of education and healthsciences). The second author was concerned that students perceived this lack of participation inFYS by the faculty of the professional schools as a lack of endorsement for the value of liberaleducation.c She wanted the lecture to emphasize the significance of FYS as a foundation for allareas of study at the University

response to feedback from “Dr. Jacobson” (see second anecdote below), we spent almost anentire meeting debating over whether or not to describe the upper-level administrator’s watch as:a) “flashy”, which was Michael’s original, immediate observation and visceral reaction, b) “whatlooks like an expensive watch”, or c) to simply leave this part of the story out altogether. Thosein favor of option “a” felt that it was important to highlight the difference between Michael’sprior life experiences and the level of privilege that such watches represent to him. At the sametime, we all agreed that the use of the word “flashy” served to set the anecdotes as immediatereactions captured in Michael’s natural voice apart from the other more formally written

Scale (SSDS), was designed to measure four sustainability-related outcomes: (a) confidence in responding to wicked problems and awareness of (b) global,(c) social, and (d) environmental responsibilities as a designer. The SSDS was implementedpre-post within a course context as part of a multi-university initiative called the WickedProblems in Sustainability Initiative (WPSI) during the Fall of 2014.The primary objective of this paper was to provide an overview of the reliability of the SSDSand to consider where the SSDS may still be improved for optimal alignment with WPSIobjectives and outcomes. Our secondary goal was to consider where WPSI may be improved inthe future in light of the survey results, which included the survey items and written

Our goal hereis to make visible that they a) play important normative roles and have been amazingly durableyet can be contested, b) reinforce ideologies and mindsets, and c) can blind engineers to socialinjustices and the need for engaging in SJ by addressing the SJ dimensions already inherent

This quantitative study is guided by the following research questions:RQ1: What is the relationship between the empathy and innovation amongst engineering students?RQ2: To what extent are empathic tendencies predictive of innovative behavioral tendencies?Using a model developed out of social psychology,13 we define empathy as a multi-facetedphenomenon built upon four distinct sub-constructs: (a) fantasy, (b) perspective-taking, (c)empathic concern, and (d) personal distress.

The difference between instructors is anacknowledged limitation of this investigation. In order to partially account for instructordifferences and the impact that this may have on the research results, the following methods wereused: (a) confirming data was acquired across data sources and (b) questions were explicitlyasked of students concerning classroom instructional techniques.At an institutional level, the efforts to
