empathy has recently gained significant interest and most ofthis research is focused on developing and fostering empathy among engineering students.Teacher empathy is a relatively new direction yet to be taken in engineering education. In thisstudy, we are interested in developing a preliminary understanding of the views about teacherempathy among engineering faculty. The research question that guides this work is, how doengineering faculty members define, understand, and value teacher empathy? We used the Modelof Empathy Framework [1] as a lens to understand the perspectives of the faculty members.While the framework is developed specifically to understand various attributes of empathyamong engineers and engineering students, we used this

Anumber of students also complained about the lack of technological resources such as laptops toaccess their online courses, as well as other issues with technological tools (e.g., Zoom), whichinhibited their capability in joining classes within the expected time-frame. Other students complained of financial restrains, as well as emotional and family disputesin moving back home. Some faculty also observed that students had issues with their current jobsas well as obtaining paid internships leading into the summer months following. These strugglesall created challenges and distractions in students being able to achieve optimal performance inthe largely new online teaching

So, the first days on campus, I worked onsubmitted my IRB application.After the initial review process, I was informed by their IRB contact that the application wouldneed to go for further review. This would delay the initial timeline. At first, this wasn’t a bigdeal, but days seemed to be rapidly ticking by. I’ve received notifications that the IRB is underreview and at this time I have made all requested modifications. Unfortunately, we are now onweek 3 of this process.

It may seem plausible that graduatestudents already have a large enough workload and need to focus solely on their dissertationresearch without additional compromises. Another concern may be that experienced faculty memberswould be better able to teach undergraduates. However, a recent study reveals that undergraduatesare twice as likely to choose to major in a subject when taught by a graduate student compared tostudents taught by faculty and that “graduate students who teach more frequently are more likely tograduate in a timely manner and more likely to subsequently be

As a result, universities throughout the state and across thecountry quickly pivoted to virtual learning and work: Faculty scrambled to transition theircourses online, undergraduate students grappled with both new course formats and a transition intheir living situations, and graduate students and postdoctoral scholars struggled to find ways tosave their ongoing research or transition to remote work. These sudden transitions, coupled witha lack of social interaction and issues such as financial strain and family illness, had a severeimpact on student, faculty, and staff well-being. These challenges were amplified by a long-overdue national reckoning with racial inequity and injustice after the May 2020 murder ofGeorge Floyd. In
