Similarly, for perspective-taking, students can be taught to applyempathy and ethical practices in their engineering projects by taking into consideration theneeds of different stakeholders involved in the engineering project. Future research couldstudy the effects of implementing engineering education in K-12 curriculum can affect thefunds of knowledge of first-generation college students, as well as how such an engineeringcurriculum affects students’ academic performances and mindsets.ReferencesAsh, S.

However, itis important to note this technical communication block was hinged on borrowed expertise,fueled by goodwill and therefore, may not be sustainable. The technical communication blockwas developed as a means to support an institutional outcome and address curricular gaps, butwas an additional duty added to an instructor’s already full load. While the instructor haspreviously taught technical writing, it took considerable time and effort to cull the content intofour lessons, design the assignment, rubrics, and grade the papers.

particularly interesting as this tool might have a familiar interface that piques the interestof the students more readily than traditional pen and paper class activities. Similarly, Deshpandeet al.[14] noted that engineering topics can be presented in new and innovative ways through theuse of computer simulation games, interactive environments, and refined graphics. These can beutilized to stimulate students' problem-solving and presentation skills. Moreover, through the useof simulation tools, students can learn how to make their own decisions and manage theirmistakes in a real-world setting [14]. In parallel to simulation tools, other technology-basedlearning experiences in engineering education such as virtual reality have been reported toincrease

MiguelAndr´es’s research includes sustainable infrastructure design and planning, smart and resilient cities, and the development of engineers who not only have strong technical and practical knowledge but the social awareness and agency to address global humanitarian, environmental, and social justice challenges. For him, social justice is a concept that should always be involved in discussions on infrastructure. Related to STEM education, Miguel Andr´es is in developing and applying contemporary pedagogies for STEM courses, teaching empathy studies in engineering as a tool for innovation, and assessing engineering students’ agency to address climate change.
