timeline that reflects theresearcher’s tenure at the university. At this level, faculty members can tailor meaningful projectsfor researchers over a set period. The last and broadest level of participation is short-termengagement through undergraduate and graduate courses. For short-term engagement, studentsparticipate in community-based class projects for one semester or can take elective courses thatoffer community-based research. With short-term engagement, students apply concepts ofcommunity-based research. This participatory approach serves as an opportunity for students toconduct research and advance into mid-term engagement opportunities (Figure 1). These levels ofengagement provide a more diverse audience that is engaged in community-based

processes. Students worked in groups tocreate 3D parts with cultural or historical perspective. Students searched for art forms, traditions, socialhabits, and rituals from the chosen cultural background or a significant time in history and used it asinspiration to create unique CAD designs and then 3D printed models. Students were required to incorporatethe best DfAM practices required to successfully design a part using additive manufacturing. Each studentgroup prepared a poster that was shared in a gallery walk [17]. Everyone explored the variety of culturallyand historically inspired projects during the gallery walk and self-reflected on the information in an essay.Students were encouraged to include thoughts on unconscious bias, norms, habits

, intrapersonal, and interpersonal. The cognitive dimensionpertains to an individual's increasing ability to effectively process and comprehend information.Simultaneously, the intrapersonal dimension focuses on self-awareness, self-reflection, and theregulation of emotions and thoughts. Lastly, the interpersonal dimension involves an individual'scapacity to engage in and comprehend relationships with others, though the process ofdeveloping empathy and co-creating shared meaning. These dimensions represent distinct modesof development and influence how individuals perceive and interact with the world, themselves,and others. Following this framework, our study uses Kegan's theory to position developmentalideas associated with innovation and inform

human and non- human, through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. 8. As followers of Jesus Christ, we are not our own, but are instead members of His body and servants of God. 9. Our work matters to God, should reflect God’s values, and should align with God’s purposes. 10. Designing for sustainability, with its conscientious use of resources and consideration of environmental, economic, societal, and global contexts, is a helpful framework for approaching design work in a manner consistent with faithful stewardship and obedience, reflecting God’s love for humans and the rest of His creation, upholding His values of justice and mercy, and aligning with his plan for future

The lowervariability in scores also may reflect the quick decision-making required during real-time gradingof the exams, as opposed to more contemplative grading possible for a written exam. Differencesin grading between oral exams and transcripts of oral exams also was noted by Thomas andcoworkers [16].Role of Oral Exams in Environmental Engineering EducationWhen asked for their exam preference in engineering courses, respondents expressed apreference for written exams, although nearly one-third of respondents indicated they preferredan equal number of oral and written exams (All Written: 4.9%, Mostly Written/Some Oral:58.9%, Equal: 31.6%, Mostly Oral/Some Written: 4.3%, All Oral: 0.3%).

The findings emphasize the significance of integratingexperiential learning methods into environmental engineering education to enhance activeengagement and skill development among students. Importantly, these results hold broaderimplications for educational practices, highlighting the crucial role of hands-on, experientiallearning methodologies in nurturing collaborative skills vital for the future success ofengineering professionals. The limitation identified was the use of a single group for thisexperimental study as well as the small sample size.AcknowledgementThis study is part of the work that was supported by the National Science Foundation Grant
