Engineering Education Reimagined: From Empathy to Innovation
Reimagine how engineering students learn to solve real problems in our AI-enabled world. This innovative two-book collection transforms traditional engineering education by putting human understanding at its core. The student workbook guides learners through an interactive journey of empathy-driven design, while the educator's handbook provides comprehensive frameworks for creating student-centered learning experiences. Together, these resources empower students to combine human insight with AI capabilities, preparing them to design solutions that make a real difference in people's lives.
An Educator's Handbook for Integrating AI in Engineering Education
This is a comprehensive guide that helps educators prepare engineering students for a future where human creativity and artificial intelligence work together. Built on Stanford d.school's design thinking methodology and the British Design Council's double diamond process, this handbook uniquely focuses on developing transferable skills through AI integration. It guides educators through five major phases—Empathy, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test—with practical sub-phases, activities, and learning objectives. The handbook includes both physical components (with spaces for notes and sketches) and digital tools (through freely shareable spreadsheets), mapping how students can effectively collaborate with AI while developing crucial soft skills like situational awareness, focus, and self-management. The guide serves as a bridge between traditional engineering education and AI-enhanced design, emphasizing the development of both technical competence and human-centered perspective essential for modern engineering practice.
