Approach to Empathetic Electrical Engineering CoursesAbstractBackgroundThe ability to empathize provides the basis to understand others, an often-overlookedprofessional skill in engineering curriculums. Studies have shown that engineering students haveless empathy after completing their degree than when they had entered. Having low amounts ofempathy in engineers can result in less concern for public welfare and social considerationsduring the engineering design process.PurposeIn this work, we consider when engineering students are entering an empathetic cycle. Moststudies develop a model based on an educators’ perspective and how empathy is a teachable andlearnable skill. This study examines how engineering students can

, introducing an overlapping analogy process along with a new knowledge domain they mayor may not find preferable can lead to potential cognitive dissonance or strain [7, 32], potentiallyimpacting their self-efficacy [33,34]. Thus, it is essential to explore the impact of a BIDengineering curriculum on students' commitment to persist in engineering and their changes inself-efficacy related to engineering, as this curriculum may play a crucial role in shaping theireducational journey and future careers.Theoretical Framework: Self-Efficacy TheoryThis study is grounded in Bandura’s [35] self-efficacy theory.

Due to the lack ofshared curricular requirements across the eighteen engineering majors offered at U-M,incorporating a bookend approach seemed to be a potentially effective strategy. Updating anexisting course in the first year, where some shared curriculum does exist, and implementing anew course in the senior year when most students are completing their senior design experienceand preparing to enter the workforce, proved to be the most feasible.This practice paper primarily provides information regarding the design of these two courses,including explanation of the motivations for implementing these courses and the research basisthat informs the course design.

Before the curriculum reform of 2005,electrical concentration students finished their electronics coursework with the electronics IIcourse and a microprocessor course, both taught by the ECE department. The BME departmentaccessed that the students required additional training to close the gap between college andprofessional practice. The department decided to replace the microprocessor and electronics IIcourses by the lecture/hands-on course BME540/541 which takes the basic concepts from thetwo ECE courses and introduces new professional elements of medical electronics in a realistic
