), engineering is now an integral part of K12 STEM education. Inparticular, engineering education is expected to “(1) focus on design and problem solving; (2)incorporate appropriate science, technology and mathematics (STEM) concepts; and (3)‘promote engineering habits of mind. (Sanders, 2009; NRC, 2012)” This has led to thedevelopment of new strategies and practices to integrate engineering curricula into traditionalK12 science classrooms (Berland). However, there are few studies that evaluate theeffectiveness of these innovative approaches to K12 STEM education to fully understand theirimpact on understanding of STEM concepts.In order to comply with the recent reform focused on integrating engineering into moretraditional science classrooms, teachers

Educational programs need to find new and better ways ofengaging young minds to foster a desire to explore technical subjects to prepare the nextgeneration of engineers. One approach to cultivate this desire is to design challenging hands-onprojects that require teamwork to accomplish the design goals. By emulating the process of anengineering manufacturing team, students can

With this in mind, more work needs to be done to betterunderstand how engineering students conceptualize empathy and view its role in engineeringpractice. Such understanding can further enhance efforts to promote the development of moreempathic engineers. To fill this gap in the literature, we investigated the ways that engineeringstudents described empathy and its application in their engineering work at a large publicMidwestern University. As such, this study was guided by the following research questions: 1. How do engineering students describe their experiences with empathy? 2. From the perspective of engineering students

For a successful implementation of active learning, the instructor should clearly explain (or have the students create) the learning goals and outcomes for students in the course.2. Instructors should take steps to build a positive learning community and mentor students in person when class sizes allow.

However, the idea of filingweekly lab reports reinforces the prejudices of students, making them believe that they are in ascience course.There is no reason to get rid of the lab reports; they are a valuable writing experience forstudents. It would be valuable, however, to ask students to approach them in a different way. Theassessment project must emphasize the engineering aspects of the writing assignments over thenontechnical aspects, and traditional writing topics must be approached with technicalcommunication in mind. For instance, in discussing paragraph development the writingconsultants should use the explanation of design decisions as an example. “One-minute” papersthat utilize such an approach will be developed.CHRIS LESLIE, a graduate
