Toeffectively solve these complex problems, engineers have to rigorously and adeptly applytechnical skills and soft skills such as communication, collaboration, and empathy [2]. Soft skillsare widely recognized as having increasing importance for employment, career success, andprofessional and personal satisfaction in modern engineering workplaces [3].Empathy is a critical soft skill, focused on building emotional intelligence [2], [4], [5], [6], andhas many definitions in the literature [7].

The ASME code of ethicsstates that “Engineers shall hold paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public in theperformance of their professional duties” [2]. To follow this, the design must be safe and nothave the potential to cause harm to the users. The code of ethics also states that “Engineers shallconsider environmental impact and sustainable development in theperformance of their professional duties” [2]. The potential environmental impact has beenconsidered, and a positive impact would result from the reduction of cleaning supplies used aswell as less emissions from driving, as more students would be longboarding

Education will assist in assessing the impact of thisproject. Case studies require students to synthesize the facts and engineering principles they havelearned, and combine them with their broader education in the arts, humanities, and sciences.These intellectual merits have been demonstrated so far with the students who have developedcase studies under the proof-of-concept phase of this work. Case studies tie together technicalaspects, ethical issues, and procedural issues, and require students to undertake higher orderthinking in order to synthesize the relevant concepts.

This will allow students be aware thatsecurity is an integral part of computer and network applications.

Political cartoons are unusual cartoons because theyarguably reflect as well as influence a society’s beliefs, in their roles as neutral socialcommentary or as propaganda intended to promote a certain outcome (Mills et al., 2013, p.183).17 As a result, political cartoons are often used in educational activities to teach studentstextual analysis and interpretation skills as well as content information included in the cartoons,such as political science, history, and ethics

EVALUATION OF THE IMPACT OF A SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT IN A REQUIRED FIRST-YEAR ENGINEERING COURSEAbstractIn Fall 2004, a service-learning curriculum was introduced in one section of Engineering 100:Introduction to Engineering, at the University of Michigan. Engineering 100 is a required coursefor all first year students and comprises a team project coupled with an introduction to technicalcommunication. The course also includes threads of environmental sustainability, ethics and therole of the engineer in society. As a required course, Engineering 100 has suffered from lowteaching evaluations, despite the efforts of many faculty to actively engage students in thelearning process. Thus, one of the goals of this project
