These internships prepare students for the engineering profession byallowing them to gain practical hands-on job experience. They gain insight on how companiesfunction and favor their integration to the labor force. Companies determine the content of theinternship while keeping in mind the student’s level of knowledge attained in the program. Thetasks entrusted to students are related as closely as possible to those of an engineer.

In addition, parents can check out science books from the library to conduct"do it at home" science experiments.

, that he seeks to temperand correct. Indeed, he precedes his critique by making some concessions to the work of C.Daniel Batson, originator of the “empathy-altruism hypothesis”—a common foundation forresearch on the development of empathy in engineering students. [13] [14]Such research often illuminates the question that animates both Bloom’s work and the responsesto it. Empathy is traditionally understood primarily as a feeling—but models like Batson’sencompass a range of cognitive as well as affective experiences, from “theory of mind” to“empathic distress.” [13] [14] As a result, contested definitions and distinctions create complexlines of disagreement about which types of other-oriented perceptions or sensations count as“empathy” and which
