Project. There are variousCornerstone Projects that have been used in this course: a Windmill System introducing powergeneration, a Water Filtration System based on a partnership with the Metropolitan Sewer District,and the most recent project added to the course was based on an autonomous robot. New projectsare typically tested as a proof of concept first with undergraduate teaching assistants, then in thesummer iteration of ENGR 111. The summer iteration of ENGR 111 is a smaller enrollment (tento fifteen 3-4 person teams total) to allow for quicker pivoting should a situation arise. The smallersummer enrollment allows the instructors to pilot the new project with the expectation of using thenew project the following spring semester. As
Planet Framework (2022) [20] – the purpose of this panel is to shareexamples of where engineering educators are leveraging the “planetary health lens” as they workwith students to “learn by doing”, specifically in “solving problems”.ConclusionThis session will include a moderated discussion of faculty leaders who share their views oncommon questions and their perspectives of classroom experiences will provide exemplars forthe audience to consider as part of open discussion to incorporate the new definition ofenvironmental engineering into classrooms, laboratories, and experiential learning environmentsnationally.Please contact the author for a summary of any additional information that is shared as part ofthe session.References. 1
