In this Work In Progress, we present a pilot study to investigate how instructors’ emotions influence how they design and deliver content in electrical engineering courses and argue that instructors’ emotions have a substantial impact on teaching methods, and course content, consequently influencing the students’ learning process. Our findings indicate that instructors indeed recognize the significant role emotions play in their students' learning processes. We have identified two crucial themes for investigating the role of emotions in the learning process: instructor-student connection and empathy. Therefore, the next steps for this work would be analyze how the instructor-student connection facilitates student engagement with the course material and contributes to achieving the learning outcomes
