We have designated sections of our innovationcourses that the students can conveniently fit into their schedules. This current design andinnovation pedagogy has now been implemented across all engineering programs in the Schoolof Engineering & Science and is comprised of biomedical, mechanical, civil, environmental,naval, chemical, electrical, and computer engineering, as well as the

3/18/18, 4:45 PMWork-in-Progress: Development of a Virtual Reality Educational Game for Waste Management: Attack of the Recyclops1. Introduction Negative impacts of human consumption and waste on the natural environment is a long-researched topic, which led the international scientific confidence in the human-influencedclimate change to reach its highest point (95-100% likelihood) in 2014 [1]–[6]. A significantreason for this impact is the fact that much of the waste ends in landfills, rather than recyclingfacilities. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s most recent report shows that morethan 50% of the 259-million-ton municipal solid waste (MSW) goes to landfills [7]. This waste,in turn, rots and produces the

Furthermore, giving students practice with exploring and capturing complexphenomena is becoming ever more important in a world of increasing collaboration andincreasingly complex phenomena. All instruction molds more than just what knowledge we holdin our minds. Integrative pluralism might be a framework to help us attend to that “more”productively and consciously.References[1] S.
