Purdue University received a $309,432 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Engineering Education and Centers under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) for the period February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2025. The award will support development and validation of an assessment instrument to measure empathic formation in undergraduate engineering design. The research team will refine the existing instrument and ensure its validity, reliability, and fairness when assessing empathy across multiple contexts, design phases, and participants. They will collect input from engineering design instructors and student data to further refine the instrument. Once validated, the instrument will be used to identify differences in empathic development associated with various instructional contexts and practices, generating knowledge on best practices for promoting empathy in engineering design education. Findings will support critical needs for valid tools to assess and integrate empathy into engineering curriculum.
