” passive lecture methods. These pedagogies include challenge-basedlearning (e.g., problem-based learning (PBL), project-based learning, case-based learning,inquiry-based learning)1 and a multitude of active/collaborative techniques (e.g., think-pair-share,quick think, jigsaw, and gallery walk). All of these learning methods excel in student learning ofcontent as well as a variety of process skills such as critical thinking, higher-level reasoning,differentiating views of others, and teamwork.2, 3 They are also highly effective with individualstudent accountability. In addition, they have proved to be successful pedagogies within STEMeducation, in particular with regards to achievement, persistence, and attitudes.4In 2008, it was noticed that the

and the student working together to physically change the student’s brain.Zull reinforces the physical change idea by referring to the “biology of learning” as a wayof encouraging teachers to study the human brain.Educator Hardiman takes a similar tact in her book Connecting Brain Research withEffective Teaching: The Brain-Targeted Teaching Model23. She urges educators to“become better consumers of the mountains of research that have emerged since the1990s.” For example, she highlights the important role the physical environment plays inteaching and learning.We’ve all heard a struggling engineering student say “I don’t have the brains for this” orsomething similar. Perhaps you, like me, have said it to ourselves or others. Whateveryour or my

arousal.27,283 Methods and ToolsThe research performed under the NSF Engineering Education Grant #1158728: Research intoInstructional Content and Methodologies for Teaching Sustainability has been divided into twokey phases. During the first phase of the research, a multi-disciplinary team of researchersrepresenting engineering, science and technology studies, social sciences, education, andhumanities worked together performing catalyst studies to explore and identify effective cross-disciplinary methodologies for integrating instruction focused on aligning students’ personalvalues and behaviors in sustainability into existing course materials. Following these catalyststudies, larger case studies have focused on assessing scalable and
