Research has long documentedthat teaching theory or abstract ideas can be demotivating to students, while establishing relevanceto local cases, everyday applications, and newsworthy events can be very motivating[24-25].Work-based, case-based, and problem-based learning have all been efforts to address traditionalclassroom-based learning, the antithesis of situated learning. For engineering, problem-based andexperiential learning captures the general notion of learning by doing and applying theory topractice. Relevancy allows for continuous reanalysis of curricular content, its impact on experienceand the impact of experience on content. It also promotes social and emotional growth for

Furthermore, the students added that some of the creative skills related tovisual design are often overlooked in engineering subjects, while a greater emphasis on suchskills is very important. The students agreed that the inclusion of arts in engineering projectscould encourage creativity and free-thinking and allow them to produce user-centered products.“The stereotype

education is considered to serve theengineering profession and engineering students in a variety of ways. Noble argues that theAmerican engineering profession in the 20th century served primarily economic ends, especiallythose pursued by big corporations. As a result, decisions on what engineers should learn—boththe technical and the non-technical—reflected widely shared expectations for engineers’contribution to economic growth.15 From the Grinter Report in the 1950s to Educating theEngineer of 2020 (published in 2005), learning in the liberal arts, especially in social andeconomic sciences, is recommended to enhance engineers’ managerial skills, communication,teamwork, and other capacities that make them more competent in the economic sector.16

These tasks are often anchored in concept generation and theselection of ideas. Empathy plays an integral role during concept generation and selectionbecause students have to be constantly negotiating not just technical requirements and constraintsbut also consider the affective responses individuals and communities may have towards theirdesign.

This idea of being reflective – the ability toexplore where scientific and social values come from, what they mean, and how they may berelated to decisions about science and engineering – is a key component of the process to getscientists to engage with ethical and social issues as they conduct their technical practice.
