experience for problemsolving for a new first-semester general engineering course in an engineering transfer program ata community college in the eastern United States. We first consider the benefits of using casestudies for learning. We then provide an overview of the watershed monitoring system used tocollect the data and some of the previous educational settings its data has been used in.Subsequently, we summarize the particular event used in this crayfish case study and thedevelopment of some of the data analysis products that will be provided to students. Finally, wediscuss the planned implementation of this case study into the first-year general engineeringcourse and its assessment and future steps to continue this research.1

much research has shown that environmental knowledge does not directly lead topro-environmental behaviors, environmental knowledge can enhance people’s capability anddrive their motivation to perform pro-environmental behaviors [19].2.2.2 Environmental Behavior The theory of planned behavior has been widely used in different fields to understandpeople’s behaviors [20]. In the theory of planned behavior, the individual’s intention decideswhether or not they engage in a behavior or not [21]. Intention is influenced by three factors:attitude toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control [22]. Perceivedbehavioral control represents an individual’s perception of the ability to control the requiredresources and

transitioned tohybrid in-person / remote learning approaches to prevent further outbreaks on campuses. WhileCOVID-19 has been devastating, we propose that the pandemic also presents anunprecedented opportunity to reflect, reassess, and ‘bounce forward’ to become more efficient,effective, and resilient. The National Academy of Sciences’ definition of resilience has spurred atheory of resilience that centers on four successive stages surrounding a disruptive event, suchas COVID-19: (1) plan and prepare, (2) absorb, (3) recover, and (4) adapt. In this paper wepropose a framework that environmental programs can employ to ‘adapt’ (stage 4) and ‘bounceforward’ to a more resilient modus operandi long-term. The framework first identifies eachactivity a

these results might prompt new thinking about undergraduateengineering education and environmental work. We consider how our findings can informteaching and learning for effective early career practice and future leadership. We proposeleadership modules in environmental engineering curricula that focus on not only the urgentenvironmental problem space, but gender and racial equality in the people space surrounding it.1.0 IntroductionUnderstanding the school-to-work pathways of engineering students—intentions and plans priorto graduation, destinations and experiences after graduation—is a critical component ofintegrated, effective educational practice. Educational settings are not isolated entities in whichlearning communities intuit relevance

improving female participation in the labor market. The female activity rate remains well below the OECD average, as in 2014, only 47% of women in Chile held a job, compared to 62% in the OECD area. The Chilean government has taken steps to remedy this situation, for example, extending parental leave for maternity and postnatal birth. However, to attack the roots underlying low female participation in the workforce, the government will need to take other actions. Concerning this topic, propose an action plan, and answer why it is important to implement it, stating any probable impacts stemming from its implementation.

11particle size, students may decrease the material porosity and immediately see how the theoreticalcollection efficiency increases and the emitted particle number decreases. Alternatively, just thematerial thickness can be changed. The plot automatically shows the effect of changes in materialproperties on the number of particles that are effectively emitted from the person. Thus, studentscan begin to explore the best way to achieve the most effective mask. The use of the excel sheetsplaces emphasis more on the exploratory component in order to focus the student on theconnections.Assessment The assessment process for this project was planned in two phases: (1) determining theeffectiveness of how the tools incorporated entrepreneurial mindset
