We then met frequently to discuss and refine these codes, which contributed tothe development of the study’s codebook. Second, we coded the remaining data set in pairs andanalyzed patterns within and across coded excerpts. Through a collective and collaborativediscussion, the research team iteratively created emergent themes. These discussions alsogrounded the data analysis team in the participants’ narratives, which in turn increased theconfirmability and trustworthiness of the study’s findings.

It is most likely that in aclass of size say eighty, students are unlikely to engage in the kind of discussions that PBLwould require.Use of Deductive Learning in TextbooksInterestingly, most IE textbooks use a deductive approach. While we need not name such texts,it will be challenging to find a textbook on Probability, Statistics, Quality Control, ProductionPlanning, Operations Research (stochastic or deterministic), or Discrete-Event Simulation thatuses a PBL format.

The history ofthe US is strongly colored by innovators dating back to Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and otherscontinuing through the development and expansion of the US.

In contrast, our conception of “empathy” goes beyond “sympathy” in thatthe observer takes on the perspective of the other person instead of feeling an emotional responsefrom their own perspective and position. This perspective taking can reside solely in the cognitivedomain of empathy but typically also includes the affective domain [18], [23], [24]. In addition tothe affective and cognitive domains of empathy, the ability to regulate one’s emotions andself/other-awareness have also been identified as key to empathy [26]. Finally, while care has beendefined in many ways, it is often depicted as empathy that elicits a behavioral response.

The CEBOK1 defined “the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to becomea licensed professional engineer” through 15 outcomes. The CEBOK1 used ABET Criterion 3student outcomes a - k from that time for the first 11 outcomes and all the outcomes weredistinguished along three broad levels of competence: Level 1 (Recognition), Level 2(Understanding), and Level 3 (Ability) [2, 3].Table 1 CEBOK1 Outcomes [2, 3] Outcome Outcome Statement

Furthermore, engineers must apply their knowledge in complex situations thatextend far beyond the borders of the classroom.Engineering in the real world is more than number crunching. It involves making decisions suchas making the appropriate assumptions, model simplification, material/size selection, costanalysis, etc. As a result, with the current lecture approach, students may learn to solve problemsand follow preset rules for a well-defined problem but lack the ability to transfer that learninginto additional situations. In particular, they may fail to see the connection between solving aproblem mathematically and real-world engineering application. Following the tenets of
