Local solutions involvehorizontal innovation networks to create assistive technology that is modifiable by healthcareprofessionals and patients, not just the engineers that created the device. However, the ability tocommunicate between engineers, healthcare professionals, and patients requires empathy.A number of other researchers have investigated the importance of developing empathy in theirengineering courses. Mitchell and Light (2018) have incorporated initial challenger interviews,subject matter expert speakers or videos, stakeholder engagement plans, and reflection exercisesto help students develop empathy in “EPICS,” a first-year design course at Colorado School ofMines [2].

Womenwho pursued careers in mathematics, sciences, and technology consistently reported that themessages sent to them about capabilities in these male-dominated fields served as crucial sourcesof their self-efficacy21, a finding echoed in interviews conducted by Hutchison et al.15 withsecond-year engineering students. Other researchers have shown more generally that beingencouraged by peers and faculty makes students more likely to put forth effort and persevere intheir majors4, 11, 15.Fewer studies have focused on examining the influential role of emotional and physiologicalstates on the students’ sense of efficacy in engineering.

fundamental framework for the students to understand, appreciate, and relate the informationobtained in the following years of study. The course should also promote and develop the firstlevels of capability.This is consistent with a tenant in educational psychology, which states that knowledge isconstructed and incremental. Therefore, students must be educated with the expectation theenvironment will change and new methods and technologies available. This approach is directlytransferrable to the engineering profession. Design is what engineers do on a daily basis and“engages both the intellect and the imagination of the designer”.3 Engineers must not only becompetent in their technical knowledge but must more importantly be capable to apply

electricalengineers use digital systems as the controlling mechanism. This trend goes handin hand with the increased usage of microcontrollers for systems control. Recentadvances in 8-bit microcontroller technologies along with dramatic costreductions increased the usage of these low-end controlling devices. It isestimated that by the year 2005 a total number of 5 billion 8-bit microcontrollerunits are shipped annually2. MSOE has realized that the microcontroller hasbecome one of the core elements in an Electrical Engineering design and has,therefore, shifted the focus of its digital track.Objectives of the digital track in the EE programObjectives of the digital track in Electrical Engineering can be grouped into thefollowing areas

Primary goals of the programare to provide students with a solid foundation in engineering fundamentals, the skills to adapt torapidly changing and advanced technologies, and an aptitude for life-long learning. Uniquenessof the program is particularly evident with respect to its multidisciplinary span, heavyexperimental component, large credit-hour requirement, and use of advanced technologies.We recently replaced three traditional, closed, theory-verification laboratory courses in electricalcircuits, fluid mechanics, and stress analysis with the Multidisciplinary Engineering Laboratory(MEL) course sequence3.

In addition, materials engineering faculty will work toward developing projects incollaboration with faculty from other disciplines to enhance the cross-disciplinary aspects of theprojects.At Auburn University, a minor in Business-Engineering-Technology is being developed inresponse to the need for employees cross-trained in
