the intrinsic motivation of students. Thus,arguably it also has a positive impact on learning experience. Existing literature does not identifywhat attitudes and practices can be implemented in schools of engineering to promote effectivecare in teaching. This paper describes the progress of an ongoing research currently carried out ata large engineering school in Chile. The investigation has two main objectives. First, tounderstand what does it mean to care in teaching; second, to understand what is the influence thatcaring teaching has on the students’ learning experience.IntroductionFrom a philosophical perspective [1], the ethics of care involves attending to and meeting theneeds of who we take responsibility for.

A detailed project plan has beenpresented elsewhere1.Project Results In surveys and focus groups, students were asked specifically about the technical lessonslearned, as well as their personal responses to the case studies. Survey questions linked studentachievement to the a – k ABET outcomes. Case studies are particularly useful for addressingthe outcomes concerned with professional and ethical responsibility, global and societal context,life-long learning, and contemporary issues. The latter two outcomes may be addressed bydiscussing recent collapses, such as the Pittsburgh Convention

The objective of thiscurriculum is to provide students with a toolkit of important BME skills to make themcompetitive for industry careers as well as graduate school. An emphasis on design and project-based learning will help our students develop their communication skills, critical thinking, andtheir ability to work in teams.

The interdisciplinary nature of many STEMresearch projects means that graduate students often find themselves paired with experts fromother fields and asked to work together to solve complex problems. At Michigan StateUniversity, the College of Engineering has developed a graduate level course that helps studentsbuild professional skills (communications, teamwork, leadership) to enhance their participationin these types of interdisciplinary projects. This semester-long course also includes training onresearch mentoring, helping students work more effectively with their current faculty mentorsand build skills to serve as mentors themselves.

They include structural engineering, project management/scheduling andestimating, and team work. In addition, undergraduates also perceive that their understanding ofhealth and safety issues, and ethical considerations has also increased. In contrast, graduatestudents believe that their knowledge of hydraulics/hydrology/water resources, constructabilityand economic factors has been enhanced by work experiences.I.

EmpathyEmpathy is described as the cognitive and affective ability to ascertain and share another’semotion, state, reactions, or perspective [7, 8]. It has also been linked to behavior [9], and isdelineated as a construct that may have self-centered, other-centered, or pluralistic orientations[10]. The “affective response more appropriate to another’s situation than one’s own” [11, p. 4],has also been characterized as central to moral and ethical decisions and interpretations of socialjustice.Some scholars have labeled empathy as a teachable skill, virtue, and/or ability, and othershighlight the role personal choice plays in its development [12–15].
