In addition, students participate in three lab components—two experiments and onedemonstration—exploring alternative energy sources including the production of H2 fuel, solarpower, and polymer pyrolysis to fuel oil. Student learning is assessed through reflection papers atthe end of each unit, two lab reports, and a group project at the end of the semester. A newcourse in LCA will be taught in the department in Spring 2024 to supplement the sustainabilitycurriculum.The Introduction to Sustainable

This IUSE project focuses on the development,implementation, and evaluation of the impact of a unique storytelling intervention to enhance theself-view of undergraduate engineering students. It explores how telling personal narrativesabout oneself affects students' engineering professional identity, sense of belonging, andpersistence in the major. Collaborating with the non-profit organization The Story Collider andfunded by an NSF grant (award #2142137), the research uses a design-based mixed-methodsapproach to investigate the impact of storytelling on undergraduate engineering students.Incorporated into engineering courses, this intervention targets students during their sophomoreyear with the goal to develop and refine
