Diana Bairaktarova (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University) and Inês Direito (University College London) are delighted to launch their global “Caring for the Future: Empathy in Engineering Education” project, aiming to create a community of educators and researchers who are passionate about educating the next generation of engineers: Engineers, who are globally aware professionals and who have the capacity to broaden their concerns and empathise with others in an increasingly divided and unstable world.
Inaugural Event: Wednesday 22 February at 15:30 EST/20:30 GMT
Presenter: Nicki Sochacka “Reflections on a decade of studying and teaching empathy in STEM education”
