The reflection serves as a reference and benchmark to support future evolution of student critical thinking, goal setting, and career exploration related to sustainability. At the minimum, the journal must have seven reflections. Typically required topics include a personal definition of sustainability, five reflections discussing topics or observations learned during course, and a final reflection on group project commenting on the integrated design process and team dynamics. • Personal Mission Statement: Students fill out a short questionnaire and write a vision outlining, “What

To begin, it would be helpful tointroduce students explicitly to the growth mindset at an early point in their academic career andto continue to reinforce the principles of this mindset throughout a student’s college career.Although this study introduced the mindsets in an academic setting, these mindsets areapplicable in all areas of life and learning. Even if interventions such as the one in this studydon’t affect all students’ mindsets, there are still many students for whom learning about growthmindset will make a difference. In order to more robustly investigate the question of shiftingmindsets, it would be necessary to carry out the study on a larger sample of students. It

The finding from my research suggests that an interaction of individual’s characteristicsand characteristics of moral issues affect the decisions of individuals. This further supports theoverall argument of the ethical decision model provided by Trevino (1986). According toTrevino’s (1986) model, individual and situational variables interact with the cognitivecomponent to determine how an individual is likely to behave facing an ethical dilemma. Another finding is that although there is a lot of emphasis on ethical theories andframeworks in
