In contrast, the second module, targeted at senior students enrolled in thecapstone design course, offers more comprehensive coverage of ethics topics.Introductory ethics moduleSimilar to work reported by Clancy et al [11], we have opted to integrate an ethics introductorymodule into the Electrical Engineering Projects and Tools course. This one-credit laboratorycourse is typically taken by electrical engineering students in their first semester. The courseaims to introduce students to various aspects of electrical engineering, including laboratoryequipment and basic electrical circuits, through fifteen lab sessions held for over two hours

Approach to Empathetic Electrical Engineering CoursesAbstractBackgroundThe ability to empathize provides the basis to understand others, an often-overlookedprofessional skill in engineering curriculums. Studies have shown that engineering students haveless empathy after completing their degree than when they had entered. Having low amounts ofempathy in engineers can result in less concern for public welfare and social considerationsduring the engineering design process.PurposeIn this work, we consider when engineering students are entering an empathetic cycle. Moststudies develop a model based on an educators’ perspective and how empathy is a teachable andlearnable skill. This study examines how engineering students can

This course enrolls sophomores,juniors, and seniors. This is largely a result of the varying requirements of different majorswithin the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at UC San Diego. For some majors,there are prerequisites to this course. For majors that do not have a prerequisite, students can takethe course early in their curriculum.
