It is not just anenvironmental challenge; it intersects with issues of equity, justice, and global development.Recent studies indicate that engineering students may not fully grasp the significance of non-technical aspects related to climate change and how these aspects relate to their engineering work[3, 4]. Moreover, engineering students often fail to bridge the gap between the technical aspectsof engineering and its social dimensions [5, 6]. Recognizing

pursue research that can enhance quality of life by improving access to sustainable resources and economic opportunities, particularly where a lack of physical infrastructure or economic resources presents a major obstacle, leading to the creation of the SEAR lab. The SEAR lab investigates how communities, companies, and countries can allocate their limited resources in a way that maximizes their desired outcomes in a sustainable, equitable, and resilient but also elegant way. The SEAR lab assesses these problems by combining physical experimentation, data analytics, and stochastic systems optimization to provide actionable decisions and create scalable prototypes.Prof. Jay Michael Rosenberger, The University of Texas
