This, along withthe US commitment to providing a strong general education component at the undergraduatelevel, has made it difficult to unpack how students navigate challenging curricula and providesan important context for changes in engineering education.

The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as being a deadlypandemic because of its infectious nature, its rapid spread across various countries, and itsimpact on medical and institutional communities [1]. Challenges were also observed within theeducational system and some are discussed here [2]. Overnight, universities and schools across the U.S and across the world had to transitionto some form of distance learning in order to satisfy the educational needs of students andprograms and keep faculty, staff, and students safe.

empathy has recently gained significant interest and most ofthis research is focused on developing and fostering empathy among engineering students.Teacher empathy is a relatively new direction yet to be taken in engineering education. In thisstudy, we are interested in developing a preliminary understanding of the views about teacherempathy among engineering faculty. The research question that guides this work is, how doengineering faculty members define, understand, and value teacher empathy? We used the Modelof Empathy Framework [1] as a lens to understand the perspectives of the faculty members.While the framework is developed specifically to understand various attributes of empathyamong engineers and engineering students, we used this

One of the overarching goals of an undergraduate engineering education is to give students theability to critically analyze and select tools to solve complex problems. We strive to develop students asself-regulated learners who are “metacognitively, motivationally, and behaviorally active participants intheir own learning processes” [1]. This awareness includes students’ ability to identify resources tosupport their learning and solve complex problems. Some engineering programs teach students studystrategies, which may include the use of resources; however, often times these lessons are general andstudents may struggle to translate these lessons into their courses. While there has been some work thatinvestigates students’ ability to use

When not in use, classrooms can host student organization events,project team meetings, and students simply doing homework.The increase in student centered pedagogies has encouraged universities to renovate traditionallecture style classrooms to studio or flexible classrooms [1]. Increases in the number of flexibleand studio classrooms raise the question of how universities can design these spaces to alsosupport student informal learning beyond their intended use as classrooms.Studies have been conducted on the benefits of informal learning settings, but there are fewstudies on how the physical space itself can support the

Besterfield-Sacre in 1997, incoming engineering students were surveyed ontheir perceptions of engineering as a field, their own abilities as engineers, and their confidencein their success [1]. The performance and retention of the students were then tracked for thefollowing three years and related back to their initial attitudes. Students who left engineering ingood academic standing had significantly different attitudes about themselves and engineeringcompared to students who stayed in engineering, or who left in poor academic standing. Theinitial attitudes of students who left in good standing reflected significantly

. Implicit bias on student teams is often theorized to influence the prioritization of ideasexpressed by white male students over those expressed by their female counterparts orteammates of color [1]. In addition, a gender-correlated division of work often occurs onstudent-teams, with men doing the more technical tasks of the project, leaving women to oftenfill the remaining organizational and managerial positions on the team [2], [3], [4]. Reasoning forthis type of behavior is often linked to differences in student learning goals for a course, whetherthat be mastery orientation (motivation to understand the material), performance orientation(motivation to earn grades or favor) or performance-avoidance orientation (motivation to avoidappearing less
