For each inquiry, students generated a report and mini-poster. The main purpose of the projects was to provide students with a project to get them “thinking about thermodynamics beyond the textbook” (TIP student handout). Each project was done with a partner and projects had a total of five points possible for each of five domains: Ability to Communicate Effectively (Paper), Ability to Communicate Effectively (Poster); Ability to Identify and Formulate Engineering Problems in

. The third thread is a “self-introduction” where students can introducethemselves to the class. It was very nice to see self-introductions at the start of the class andcatch a glimpse of some personalities. This initialized a sense of community. Ray and Tabas [16]deployed a survey in their online class. Their survey indicates that 8% and 54% of the studentsstrongly agree or agree that the discussion boards provided the biggest impact on community.However, in our class, following the self-introductions, most students communicated by email,which is consistent with the findings of Brewer [14] whose research indicates that email is thepreferred and most used mean of communication among engineering professionals.A folder including all the lectures

that students had to understand and engage in disciplinarypractices. The teachers reported making changes to activities based on their perceptions ofstudent understanding and engagement and to save time which led to different experiences forstudents in each class section, specifically a more teacher-centered implementation for theinclusive class. Teachers also suggested specific professional development and educativesupports to help teachers to support all students to engage in engineering tasks. Thus, it isimportant to understand teachers’ beliefs to build support for teachers in their implementation ofengineering projects that meet the needs of their students and ensure that students have accessand support to engage in engineering

But universally-recognized cultural features ofengineering education – heavy workload, challenging curriculum, prescriptive structure,suffering and shared hardship, meritocracy of difficulty, simultaneous competition andcollaboration – are a particular challenge because they get internalized by those in theengineering community and persist without anyone directly communicating them.

Then, they use biomimicry to brainstorm design ideas and a sustainability analysis tostudy the impact of their design on the sustainability issues.

recognized as a critical professional skill in support ofengineering design work. As such, there are a growing number of curricular initiatives to supportthe development of engineering students' empathy as a design skill [14]. These initiatives span avariety of approaches, including stakeholder engagement in human-centered design, service-learning projects, and curriculum on ethical impacts of our engineering work [18]. However,within engineering, students identified empathy as a critical interpersonal skill for buildingrelationships in their everyday lives, yet struggled to see how empathy is involved in theirengineering work [19]. This disconnect highlights the importance of emphasizing empathy as notonly an engineering design skill, but also as a
