engineering students throughgame play, and we anticipate that testing and development of multiple iterations of screen-baseddigital versions will allow us to ultimately design a game that allows better understanding ofengineering and social issues on a complex relational systems level.Engineers will play a critical role in addressing the challenges of sustainability. Environmentalissues are not “cut and dry” problems with simple answers; rather, they are interconnected withtechnological and economic constraints. Enhancing economic and environmental literacy amongengineering students provides real ethical dilemmas for debate, and will contribute to defining anew pedagogical model for educating future engineers.AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to
