, especially if we bring them to people like Sarah, so it works well. With that in mind, the time with Sarah was a great addition to the class.”From this open-ended comment, a number of conclusion may be inferred. First, the tone andcontent suggest at least a degree of positive reception to the opportunity to engage in qualitativeresearch. Second, the involvement of a recognized expert is highlighted as important. And third,the specific inclusion of an instructor of nursing was viewed positively by this student ofenvironmental engineering. In contrast to the positive aspects of this comment, the student alsoconveyed a suggestion for improvement, namely: clear learning objectives and the use of gradingrubrics so that students could better

mitigate the injustice issue.As a result, integrating environmental justice themes into environmental engineering courses hasbecome more prevalent in university programs over the years [3-5], which has helped shift thecurriculum toward a justice-minded framework for the discipline. Even in chemical education,the incorporation of environmental justice themes in chemistry courses has increased and manyarticles describing its inclusion in the curriculum can be found in the chemical educationliterature [6-14]. It is worth noting that environmental justice is an integral part of social justice.Although the two are interconnected and overlap in their impact on marginalized communities,social justice encompasses fair and equal social and economic

,and society.A key characteristic of traditional humanities courses is their reliance on teacher-directedcurriculum and lecture-based instruction [15]. This approach, while familiar to many humanitiesprofessors who report spending a significant amount of time on teaching [16] can be lessengaging for engineering students. More importantly, these traditional methods of lecturedelivery often fail to cultivate the essential “Engineering Habits of Mind (EHoM)” required forsuccess in the modern engineering landscape. EHoM represents a set of core skills and mindsetssuch as systems thinking, adapting, problem-finding, and creative problem-solving thatdistinguishes engineers from other professions [17].Therefore, the use of PBL in teaching humanities

. The 2023 ASEE ITH discussion was focused on howas faculty and instructors we may make a difference stewarding students through their educationalexperience and how we might consider sustainability as part of the engineering canon. This buildson the planning and structure of previous iterations of an ITH. In this paper, we share the history,evolution, and mindful structure for these events. We summarize recent efforts to present severalimportant topics related to timely engineering education subjects as well as fostering discussionamong participants via intimate, roundtable conversations based on provided discussion prompts.The 2023 session included a presentation of the Engineering for One Planet (EOP) initiative andFramework and the work to

Other shared “avoid” themes included judgmental attitudes against non-engineers,arrogance; apathy toward issues affecting the natural environment or society; poorcommunication and interpersonal skills; and technical incompetence.SustainabilityRespondents were next asked for their definition of the word ‘sustainability’ as well as theirinterpretation about how sustainability relates to the Environmental Engineering degree at MSU.The investigator asked faculty “What comes to mind when I mention the word ‘sustainability’?”They were also prompted to provide examples of how the current Environmental Engineeringprogram might promote or inhibit sustainability as defined by the informant.

Another insight indicated thatdesign, material, and project-intensive courses include opportunities for sustainability educationmore prominently than foundational engineering courses designed for understanding.Peer Institution AssessmentOne can look outside of RHIT’s curricula to identify opportunities for future improvement byobtaining insight from other peer institutions. Select schools who thrive as recognizedsustainability-minded schools were identified, and publicly available information was gatheredabout the schools’ sustainability education. When accessible, interviews with students of theinstitution were conducted to get a better understanding of the student experience
