Six Sigma training using projects is moreeffective than traditional statistical courses and is even used in a master’s level courses [16],[17]. Cudney and Kanigolla found that inclusion of a Lean Six Sigma project had a positiveimpact on students’ learning of concepts included in the course [18, 19].Another issue is the fact that the course includes many tools and techniques that are traditionallytaught as individual topics. Linking these tools together using a quality improvement projectmethodology like Six Sigma demonstrates how they are

Transfer students who cannot cover these introductory freshman engineeringcourses with transferred credits are often essentially relegated back to freshman status and totaking the freshman program courses—and this is not a good situation. At Virginia Tech, about150 transfer students on average enter the College of Engineering (CoE) each fall, and anywherefrom about one quarter to one third of them require the freshman program courses. In past years,we sprinkled these transfer students among the traditional freshmen in the many sections (~40)of the first engineering course.

While this effort is still far from complete, initial findings indicate that most such programsinclude some degree of engineering design.In terms of pedagogy, a movement has been underway towards the flipped classroom. A flipped, orinverted, classroom is defined succinctly by Lage et al.: “Inverting the classroom means that events thathave traditionally taken place inside the classroom now take place outside the classroom and vice versa”(10, p.32). While this definition seems to imply a simple reversing of the traditional in-class and out-of-class activities, the practical application has opened up significant opportunities for new pedagogicalmethods. Most commonly, the flipped classroom label refers to an assortment of web-based videolectures

When these highly skilled, knowledgeable, and talented individuals leave, itresults in losses for the workforce, universities, funding agencies, faculty members, and thestudents themselves [5].

For example, Rasoal and colleagues3 found that engineering students scored lower oncritical elements of empathy (perspective-taking and empathic concern) than students in othermajors (psychology and social work). Similarly, Walther and colleagues4 posited that onechallenge for fostering empathy among engineering students relates to student conceptions ofempathy as something other than engineering (e.g., social work). To better understand theseissues, we need to explore how engineering students utilize empathy in their work and the factorsthat affect that utilization.While an emerging body of literature focuses on the development of engineering students’empathic tendencies and how engineering students utilize empathy during design5-7

The quote below, from a2000 study, captures many of these shortcomings: “…Deficiencies in engineering education have been exhaustively enumerated in recent years. Engineering schools and professors have been told by countless panels and blue- ribbon commissions […] that we must strengthen our coverage of fundamentals; teach more about “real-world” engineering design and operations, including quality management; cover more material in frontier areas of engineering; offer more and better instruction in both oral and written communication skills
