. Comparatively, Dvash and Shamay-Tsoorydescribed Theory of Mind as a “a more advanced emotional form of mentalizing, rather than whathas been called ‘emotional contagion”’ [35, p. 286].Scholars have also described the importance of cognitive empathy in intercultural communicationand how it can serve for “bridging cultural differences” [31, p. 2]. Among culturally divergentindividuals and groups, it can create a a pluralistic and pro-social mindset [38–40]. Additionally,relational empathy reifies awareness of their own inability to posses first-hand knowledge ofothers’ emotions or thoughts [41]. In turn, “Individuals instead jointly create interdependentunderstanding of experiences and empathy that are reflective of and shaping of their

] focuses on assessing student learning and experience to ascertainwhether students have acquired the skills, knowledge, and competencies related to their programof study. The ET department faculty use a combination of direct and indirect methods forassessment and evaluation of the SOs. The results and findings of these evaluations aresystematically utilized as input for the program’s CI actions[1], [13]. Direct methods requirestudents to exhibit their knowledge and skills as they respond to the instrument itself. Objectivetests, projects, laboratory work, presentations, and classroom assignments all meet this criterion[14]. Indirect methods such as surveys and interviews require students to reflect on their learningrather than to display it [12

In recent years, however, many qualities of the homework format have been altered.These aspects include digital submissions or digital assignments entirely.

WHO and the CDC measure andclassify disability through six questions related to hearing, vision, cognitive, mobility, self-care,and independent living [4]. With such a large portion of the population classified with having adisability, there are still a disproportionate amount of people with disabilities participating inU.S. higher education approximately 11%, [5]. This lower participation rate may stem fromsystemic barriers within educational institutions that perpetuate ableism.

Introduction The interest in “wicked problems” in science and engineering reflects a growingrecognition that the most pressing technological needs of the 21st century do not fall neatly intoany single discipline. Because they sit at the intersection of many competing disciplines andinterests, wicked problems defy easy definition or solution [1].

These topics are covered through a combination of lecture and classactivities, including opportunities for role playing which has been shown to provide a more vivideducation experience for students [2]. To demonstrate the influence of culture on the engineeringdesign process, for example, student teams develop simple designs for household cleaning choresand then reflect on the cultural assumptions they bring to the design, whether those assumptionswould be universally appropriate, and whether all engineers would define

Meanwhile, STEM is a familiar term within contemporary American educationalsystems, but it does not reflect a monolithic domain unto itself, and it is not always clear howengineering relates to science, technology, or math within this framing.

While the V-model isintuitive for those with design experience, as a project management model it does not accuratelythe reflect the actual and iterative work of design so it needs to be implemented flexibly and withsignificant scaffolding.Because capstone courses can be very time-intensive for faculty, the instructors have developed asignificant amount of scaffolding over time using an action-based research approach [4] (seenext section).

While mostcreativity frameworks involve divergent thinking (concept generation), convergent thinking(iterating a prototype), as well as openness to idea exploration, and reflection, in practice andunder constraints most engineering projects focus disproportionately on the first two of these four.Useful interventions might find ways to increase students’ “openness to idea exploration” and“reflection” about design.Studies have shown that students’ creativity increases when risk taking is supported in theclassroom (Daly [65] again, citing others).

This is particularly true in co-curricular activities, where advisors may worry thatformal reflection would deter college students from participating. However, the reflection couldoccur informally via a group discussion.Giles and Eyler [11] cite Dewey’s [12] four criteria for projects to be truly educative. The fourcriteria are: generate interest, worthwhile intrinsically, problems that demand new information,and cover a considerable time span.
