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

A structure deemed standard should possess theresilience to withstand the test of time, contingent upon the absence of any quality gaps in itsconstruction. Adherence to the lean six-sigma methodology and other safety and ethicalstandards in the construction stage is imperative for ensuring durability. Unfortunately, this idealscenario is not universally evident, particularly in certain countries. Nigeria, for example,grapples with a disconcerting surge in building collapses, accompanied by tales of grief and loss.In spite of the growth in Nigeria's real

fact, Table 4 shows that even though GPA did notcorrelate with any of the scales for men, we did see a significant correlation for women for theperformance-based Engineering Identity and Belonging. Keep in mind that there is no differencebetween the GPA for men and women. Examples of questions that show that these areperformance-based are: 1. “I can do well on exams in engineering.” (EI), 2. I can overcomesetbacks in engineering (EI), 3. “I think in the same way as do people who do well in chemicalengineering at X University.” (Belonging) 4. “Compared with most other students at XUniversity, I know how to do well in chemical engineering.” (Belonging). Future studies willinvestigate if this correlation holds with the non-performance-based

Bejan 14 is an older textbook which does an excellent jobhighlighting conservation and account principles, but is limited in terms of its diagrams. None ofthe eight texts reviewed attempted a diagram of any kind for entropy and exergy.The limitations of existing textbooks in the thermal-fluid sciences in providing students withconsistent diagrammatic support to solve engineering problems has motivated the exploration of astraightforward unified approach to drawing these diagrams.

Additionally, hands-on models as learning aids inStatics are not just limited to a single topic [5]-[7].

and innovative solutions [1]. To effectivelyprepare engineering students for navigating the demands and nuances of the workplace whilebeing mindful of their users’ needs, it is necessary to train them to consider the design problemthrough both technical and human-centered perspectives [2]. Previous work noted universities’increasing tendency to incorporate HCD in existing engineering programs and to use it as anothermeans of supporting students’ achievement of desirable learning outcomes [2]. Our efforts tocontribute to this educational trend led to the development of an educational summer camp meantto expose high school students to a team-based human-centered design task.BackgroundIn this work-in-progress paper, we document the second
