set of questions, which were unique to each course, asked about the student's agreeability to meetoutcomes defined in the course syllabus. The second and third sets of questions were based on a surveypreviously used in an EOP-based course[6]. After data collection, it was compiled and statisticallyanalyzed by converting the Likert-type rating scales to numerical values as shown below, where 1 and 5represent responses that strongly disagree (1) and strongly agree (5) with the presented sub-questions,respectively. Sustainability/EOP-related questions (Q. 2 and 3) related used in the survey are shown below:Table 2: Question 2 - This second part of the survey aims to assess how the course project helped you in learning andapplying course topics

informed by the incorporation of practical scenarios,allowing students to apply theoretical concepts to real-world situations. This integration of theoryand practice is recognized as a key driver for effective engineering education [9]. The emphasison communication and weekly progress meetings aligns with research highlighting the positiveimpact of regular feedback on student performance and understanding [10]. Project 2 then expandson these foundations, incorporating advanced analysis tools, aligning with research suggesting thatexposure to diverse analytical techniques enhances problem-solving proficiency [11]–[13].The work of the "Electra-Q" group, investigating the influence of extreme temperatures, charging,and discharging rates on Li-ion

especially important in broadening the impact of this course. In the future, we hope to createan open-access repository consisting of lecture series (both long and short videos, Q&A withthose with lived experiences etc), worked out examples, sample assignments and exercises thatcan be adapted for particular courses. Below we have outlined some aspects the course sketchdeveloped through our workshop, which may be useful to instructors seeking to introducesimilarly complex topics into STEM courses. Bearing in mind that courses may have different technical focuses, we developed broadlearning objectives and outcomes that would be relevant across disciplines and could easily bemade more specific as needed:Course Aims ● Introduce students to
