The skills dimension includes empathic skills that canbe learned such as perspective taking, mode switching, and affective sharing. The orientationdimension concerns one’s proclivity for being empathetic and includes aspects such as anepistemological openness and reflective values awareness. The being dimension aligns withone’s values and morals as engineers and citizens and how these morals and values define andguide our actions and behaviors.

Further, expanding racial (and gender) representation of engineering faculty hasbecome a top priority in many engineering colleges and departments across the country. Despitethe best intentions, many organizations have failed to reflect societal demographics within theirfaculty ranks. Techniques and strategies exist to recruit candidates from traditionallyunderrepresented groups, yet the full participation of these groups has not been achieved [6].It is clear that the engineering programs within higher education must improve their teachingapproaches to address issues of diversity

However, there is verylittle evidence of the effectiveness of these courses.In this scenario, active learning methodologies appear as a way to improve conceptualunderstanding and thinking skills of science and technology students for flexible use in thecurrent context. Although there is a clear evidence of the benefits of active learning,professors still use traditional teaching methods.Helping teachers moving towards a new conception of teaching and learning needs a way ofprofessional development that creates opportunities to reflect and rethink

However, thefield of engineering has not yet established a clear idea of what “disciplinary engagement”means.Engineering at its core is about creating solutions to problems using mathematics, science, andcreativity through a design process. The engineering curriculum reflects this by containingdifferent types of courses that teach the mathematical models of natural phenomena (i.e.engineering science courses, or technical core courses), laboratory and experimental techniquesand processes (i.e. lab courses), and fundamentals of engineering design (i.e. design courses).These courses all ask students to engage disciplinarily in different ways, all in support of theoverall practice of engineering to create new solutions.

In reflecting what was learned in this module, one student stated: I learned the responsibility of engineering. With all the rewarding aspects of engineering comes responsibility. The grand challenges emphasized the responsibility engineers have to society. If engineers have the tools to create, they should use them to create good.
