The workshop will include collaborative discussion and activities to explore how empathy can or should play a role in decision-making during the engineering design process in a capstone course.
The participatory workshop would be appropriate for anyone looking to explore empathy in the design process in general. It is designed for capstone educators, teaching assistants, and staff members interested in learning how to infuse a capstone course(or any engineering design project) with a broader range of decision-making approaches and a focus on empathy.

Effective mentorship is a key factor for success in the academic environment, but how to mentor in an effective and inclusive way is typically not part of academic training. In this workshop, participants will explore how to mentor with authentic connection and compassion. Participants will be guided in mindfulness, listening, and reflection practices that will facilitate an understanding of functional mentoring relationships and how to apply this knowledge in their individual contexts.
