]. The ability of human beings to beempathetic towards one another and create designs with other people in mind may become evenmore vital in the age of artificial intelligence. This necessitates its inclusion in engineeringclassrooms. Flanagan found that through the incorporation of empathy into first-year engineeringcurriculum, students begin to think about whom they are solving problems for and their role incommunicating with those stakeholders [5]. This paper will further examine this phenomenon byinvestigating how empathy modules in a first-year class affect engineering identity. If there is ashift in the role of an engineer that the student is identifying with, how does that interact withtheir engineering identity?Theoretical Frameworks

This paper presents such effort involvinga junior level engineering statistics course. Given the abundance of data in today’s world and theimportance of extracting meaning out of them, statistics is an important tool for any disciplineincluding engineering.
