higher education experience had to function and survive as an individual.Though our students need to function independently, they also need to understand the necessity ofrelying on others who have specialized skills and knowledge. This project was an excellent tool tohelp nurture this understanding.One reason that this project seems to work well, at least from the students perspective, is that itprovides a real life and tangible experience that has actual benefit beyond the students and the Page 5.392.3curriculum. Several student groups have commented how they felt good about doing a projectthat may benefit others on campus. “We liked the idea

A thoroughinvestigation into the operation of these cycles can be facilitated with the use of thecomputer to ease the property evaluation process. There are several good, commerciallyavailable programs and solvers for implementing such solutions; however, for economicreasons we have chosen to developed an in-house program. Beyond the economics of thesituation, it is also the belief of the authors that value exists in writing and understandingthoroughly the ’black box’ being used by students for solving problems.

In the paper, we discuss how alignments or discrepancies betweenstudent and expert perceptions both extend our notions of the role of empathy in engineering andidentify areas that can be better supported through engineering instruction.IntroductionEmpathy plays a critical role in engineering. Empathy can support effective communication andcollaboration across disciplines and cultures, promote more useful and responsive solutions forusers, and motivate engineers to incorporate humanitarian and ethical considerations into theirsolutions1,2. Despite, these critical functions, studies suggest engineering students are lessempathic than non-engineers and may struggle to incorporate empathy into their

In this paper, we describe an “engineering science” course developed specifically to teach selected SE topics and designed to primarily prepare third and fourth year undergraduate students for their engineering (ABET) capstone project.
