importance of selecting and adapting project frameworks to enhance studentengagement when incorporating societal connections and humanities topics into engineeringcurriculum.IntroductionThe educational experience for engineers rightly focuses on the detailed design process.However, in 2018 the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine published anextensive report exploring the integration of the humanities and arts in the sciences andengineering [1]. The chair of the committee later extracted the key findings: Integration of the arts and humanities into STEM courses and curricula is associated with positive student outcomes, including higher order thinking, creative problem solving, content mastery of complex

; BackgroundThere exists a great variety of research communities which aim to improve engineeringeducation through innovative, evidence-based practice. While many of these researchcommunities work to develop new educational strategies with great success, there appears to be amissing link: that between the dissemination of evidence-based educational strategies and theiruse in an actual educational environment. Although new pedagogical methods continue to bedeveloped, tested, and published, instructors can often struggle to fit them into their classrooms[1]-[3]. This gap is influenced by a few factors: resources available to faculty members [4]-[6], afaculty member’s willingness to make changes to their pedagogy [7]-[8], and the social networks(or lack

The purpose of this study is to explore the story of how one engineering facultymember integrates teacher empathy into their course, including motivations, barriers, difficultiesfaced, and benefits to becoming more empathetic in the classroom. The model of empathyframework developed by Walther and colleagues was used to frame our study on teacherempathy [1]. We used Action Research (AR) methodology for this study as AR allows theresearcher to work with the participant instead of on the participant.

At West Point, artillery officers and engineerswere trained as early as 1796 to support the Continental Army. However, the U.S. MilitaryAcademy was officially established by Act of Congress under President Thomas Jefferson in1802, making it the first military academy in the U.S [2]. A

The appfacilitates the quantification of usage data which allows the impact on learning and engagementduring remote learning to be measured. As a work-in-progress they note that no firm conclusionshave yet been drawn.

in the modeling portion of thefinal exam.IntroductionThe creation of solid models can be a mostly math-free introduction to the engineering designprocess. There are numerous acceptable ways to create a solid model, but all good models sharethe same characteristics — good solid models incorporate the design intent that was expressed inthe original layout drawing. Design intent is a method used in computer-aided design that definesrelationships between objects, so that a change to one propagates automatically to others [1].Incorporating design intent into a solid model results in a model that typically has the minimumnumber of dimensional values. This is accomplished by using a sufficient number of geometricalconstraints in fully constrained

Engineering role identity has been shown to influence learning,persistence, and motivation [6]–[8], highlighting the need for identity to be developed andmaintained as part of an undergraduate engineering degree. How students think about theirability to understand and apply engineering practices has been shown to predict and support thedevelopment of these engineering identities [6], [9].Wenger and colleagues illustrated that we "produce our identities through the practices weengage in [p. 164]” and that "identity is a form of competence

Engineering students mustundergo a substantial and comprehensive curriculum during their undergraduate years—aspects ofthe curriculum are often described as being stressful. Progression through the engineeringcurriculum can be stressful because the students are expected to perform well with a significantworkload in the form of projects and other required homework. Consequently, to meet suchdemands, students may not be able to enjoy their campus life [4]. Excessive
