community vision with Pitt’s core compe- tencies of research and education, Sanchez has built up Pitt Hydroponics in Homewood, founded Con- stellation Energy Inventor labs for K-12 students, and re-created the Mascaro Center’s Teach the Teacher sustainability program for science educators in the region. As a teacher he designed and created the Sustainability capstone course which has annually partnered with community stakeholders to address sustainability challenges at all scales. Past projects have in- cluded evaluating composting stations in Wilkinsburg, studying infrastructure resilience in Homewood, enabling community solar in PA, improving energy efficiency in McCandless Township, and improving water quality in

aninterest in civil engineering before the course. The number of students with the same interest in2020 and 2021 is unknown. Although students in 2022 noted a slight increase in broadening theirknowledge, the category still received strong agreement on average.Most students associated civil engineering with infrastructure or bridges in the three-year pre-course surveys. However, topics covered throughout that year’s week appeared in the post-course surveys. In 2020, the association shifted towards "sustainability" and "resiliency," whilein 2021, students cited instructors' specific fields and considered factors such as "populationgrowth," "ever-changing societies," "buildings adaptability," and "equity" when asked about civilengineering's future
