, sustainability curricula, and courses onenvironmental justice is growing. Previous authors have offered courses focused on challenge-based [29], experience-based [30], and laboratory-focused [31] approaches to teachsustainability and sustainable development, but our course is unusual in that it attempted thesubject in an entirely remote format. There is increased recognition of the need forinterdisciplinarity in approaching the topic of sustainability and alternative energy technologiesin engineering coursework; our work adds to the literature by presenting and assessing aninterdisciplinary course offered across majors and schools. Further, by assessing student interestand proficiency in course topics according to major, we can understand how these

these options do not include synchronous learning methods inconjunction, students lack the direction and assistance to learn the content systematically.It is common for many providers of remote education to use off-the-shelf video conferencing andclassroom management applications [8]. These apps are not optimized for microcontroller educa-tion and are not able to provide timely feedback to the students.Another option for remote microcontroller education is to use a simulation platform such as Tin-kerCAD, which can provide timely feedback on students’ work [4]. However, simulations are notvivid enough, especially simulations of sensors and motors. Remote Laboratory [9] is another op-tion where the experiments are performed remotely, and the

Duffin and Graduate Student Elmor Peterson of CarnegieInstitute of Technology in 1967, the first book focused entirely on geometric programming-Geometric Programming – Theory and Applications[2]. Geometric Programming was a popularresearch area with over 60 dissertations published on the topic during 1965 – 1995. Thesedissertations primarily focused on specific problem solutions, but they did not involve thedevelopment of design equations.

This ensured anonymity and provided an environmentfor students to participate regardless of their programming knowledge, skill, or any otherbackground. The new platform makes it plausible to extend the system by supporting moregames as part of course laboratories. Nevertheless, this platform is not limited to introductorycourses. It can be extended to advance programming courses as well.
