A semester-long seminar course wasoffered to undergraduate students in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University ofCalifornia, Berkeley to expose students to ongoing research, while providing an opportunity tonetwork with researchers in the department. The course consisted of weekly research talks anddiscussions. Invited speakers presented a diverse array of research areas and their pathway toresearch. To assess the course’s impact, we surveyed students at the beginning and end of thesemester. Approximately half of the students in the course were 1st year students.

Assessment of students’ responses to the use of VR is also discussed in this paper.MethodThe VR lessons were developed for lower-level courses in aerospace engineering, biology,electrical engineering, mathematics and physics. Five undergraduate students, one from eachdiscipline, were hired to assist the faculty. The first step in the process of development of the VRlessons was the identification of topics of the lessons.

First used in engineering education literature inthe early 2000s, empathy was seen as a prerequisite for engineering professionals to forecastpotential outcomes of their work–their moral imagination [21]. These early examples did notresonate with students, many having difficulty with the idea of “moral imagination.” Over thelast 20 years, engineering education scholars have often sought to integrate empathy intostandardized processes, “scientizing” it for application and assessment. In effort to train a holisticengineer, educators have integrated forms of empathy into human-centered design, empatheticdesign, and tools for developing empathy in community development settings (empathy/HCImaps) [22].
