need for environmental scientistsand engineers to integrate nature as a key component of solutions while developing innovativesolutions to complex environmental problems. The need to use nature in environmental problem-solving is epitomized by investment of $8 billion to restore the Kissimmee River in Florida to itsoriginal state after it was straightened to canal 30 years ago [9]. In another example, the City ofColorado Springs recently publicized its plans to spend $460 million over two decades in itsstormwater infrastructure, maintenance and education programs [10]. Evidences suggests thatecological intensification of agriculture, an integration of nature into environmental solutions,can help sustain agricultural production while minimizing

For example, theSimultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) module went over the basics of that field andintroduced ultrasonic range sensors. Students were able to stream ultrasonic sensor data whilewalking about the classroom to see how this sensor could be used for obstacle avoidance.

Barriers to adopting EBIPs includeinadequate preparation time, content coverage concerns, unsupportive colleagues or departmentalculture, limited professional development opportunities, negative student reactions, andmisalignment with instructor reward structures [4], [5]. Instructors commonly cite a lack of time,especially the initial commitment required to transition from traditional lecture-focused methods,as a key obstacle to instructional change [6], [7].

The major problem we have identified isthat students put different amounts of effort into reading and commenting on other students’drafts, which results in some students receiving very little or unhelpful feedback. Sometimes astudent will not submit a draft, which affects not only that student (i.e., they do not receivefeedback from peer

While the concept and practice of transferring learninghave always been intrinsic to educational objectives, it was not until it was defined as an explicitgoal of education plans that it was formally named. Fundamentally, ToL asks students to applytheir learning to contexts different than where they originally learned them [3]. ToL is central inengineering education, given the complex nature of problems in engineering and the tailored,problem-specific solutions they demand.
