This was based around a case study of a furniture manufacturing company. With 550students in the class at a very busy time of the year, this was a practical way of up-skilling studentson new information resources.The tutorial completed a structured four year programme of information literacy for engineeringundergraduates.

There are several advantages to this approach.First, unlike many of the other devices mentioned above, the ARM architecture is not limited to asingle semiconductor manufacturer but is a licensed technology which is used by a broad rangeof suppliers. Its RISC architecture is very elegant, making it a common choice for courses onComputer Architecture, as well as a dominant force in industry. Indeed, it is claimed that over10

Aminor modification permits this development board to be used as a microcontroller programmer.The students begin by getting familiar with the devices on the development board. Then, morecomplex off-board control applications are developed using the PICKit1 as a programmer. Thestudents use their laptops to develop microcontroller software and program devices. Since thePICKit1 development board is less expensive than most textbooks, students purchase their ownboards. The development software is available at no charge from the manufacturer.

And in regard to curriculum, the vast majority of university systemsacross the United States have managed to squeeze more and more theoretical information intoengineering curricula, while limiting the contact of undergraduate students with physical, hands-on projects, through laboratories and design projects. In 1988, a paper was published by Richard Felder and Linda Silverman entitled Learningand Teaching Styles in Engineering Education which has become one of the most referenceddocuments in the field of Engineering Education [1].

Indeed, in asurvey of empathy perceptions of over 1,000 practicing engineers, respondents gave lowestmarks to the statement “I learned to be more empathetic and caring during my college years” [4].These findings are convicting. Engineering educators must not push training on the empatheticpractice of engineering to other, less technically driven disciplines. This deficit of training inengineering specific empathy is ultimately a problem in engineering formation that requires acombined effort from engineering educators and social scientists to address.
