to recognize the absence of any reference to experimental design in the CEPC as the“design of experiments” is required by ABET6 General Engineering Criterion 3(b).The requirement of including an experimental experience in “at least two technical areas of civilengineering” is new and stems from a perceived reduction in the practical hands-on skills ofstudents entering engineering, an apparent trend towards a reduction in laboratory courses fromengineering curricula, and aligns with the BOK2. Following Bloom’s Taxonomy, the verb“conduct” implies the level of achievement for such tasks as experimental setup, measurement,and data collection is Level 3, Application.

The student may perform a histogramto see the distribution of the grey levels to determine a good threshold value. In Figure 2 (b)the histogram of the image is shown. The values range from 0 to 255. The student may trydifferent values and see the result. In Figure 3 (a) the image with a threshold of 128 is shown.The student can see that there is some background grey areas that were darker than thethreshold value of 128 which means it had a value less than the threshold. The student maythe try a smaller value. In Figure 3 (b) the image with a threshold of 96 is shown

This quantitative study is guided by the following research questions:RQ1: What is the relationship between the empathy and innovation amongst engineering students?RQ2: To what extent are empathic tendencies predictive of innovative behavioral tendencies?Using a model developed out of social psychology,13 we define empathy as a multi-facetedphenomenon built upon four distinct sub-constructs: (a) fantasy, (b) perspective-taking, (c)empathic concern, and (d) personal distress.

Traditional approaches for helping studentsfrom underrepresented groups persist and succeed in engineering, such as Women and Minoritiesin Engineering Programs, focus on the underrepresented students themselves. These efforts areaimed at helping students adapt to a culture that is different from them, and in some situations,they may help underrepresented students recognize themselves as engineers. But identity is two-sided, where peers/colleagues must identify students as engineers25.
