the Paris Agreement within the United NationsFramework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) [1] agreeing to, among other things,reduce global GHG emissions and begin transitioning to renewable energy production. Thismassive undertaking requires a significant paradigm shift in technologies, economics, and socio-politics. As industrial and technological leaders, engineers will be at the forefront of thistransition thus requiring a holistic approach to the energy transition problem. This approach toeducation is herein termed the E3-systems approach referring to the need for engineering studentsto understand systems in the domains of energy engineering, ecological sciences, and socio-economics.Germany’s “Energiewende” provides an interesting

by anoverview of the context in which this study took place. We then present an analysis of the surveydata we collected that examines how students at our university conceptualize energy.Literature ReviewThe current body of literature in energy education explores not only the pedagogical aspects, butalso the nature of energy education. Energy is a foundational concept and is taught in manydifferent contexts, both within engineering and more broadly in Science, Technology,Engineering, and Math (STEM). As we reviewed this literature, three major questions emerged:how do we define energy? (ontology), how do students conceptualize energy? (epistemology),and how do we teach energy? (pedagogy).An Ontological Question: How do we define energy?Energy

It also provides a pathway toadmission to the university for students who may not otherwise qualify. The MOOC explores theNational Academy of Engineering (NAE)’s Grand Challenges for Engineering and related globalchallenges. This course, based on an on-ground counterpart offered at ASU, is designed to alsohelp students develop the necessary interdisciplinary systems perspective and entrepreneurialmindset to solve the complex global challenges presented. This course fuses engineering with thesocial sciences, asking students to explore the interactions between society and technology,including the influences of human behavior
isolatedfrom the environment and preventing or minimizing its negative impact on the environment is amonumental task that has recently gained momentum. According to the EPA, sustainability is “tocreate and maintain conditions, under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony,that permit fulfilling the social, economic, and other requirements of present and futuregenerations”(1). Sustainable engineering is a process of practicing engineering withoutcompromising on the quality of the environment. Sustainable engineering therefore utilizes amultidisciplinary approach of balancing social, economic, and environmental aspirationscombined with good practices of engineering design, thus closing the gap between technology andthe community(2).
