a lessonon data science and several laboratory exercises on topics of bioretention basins, wetlands,physico-chemical processes, and green roofs. The students’ performance in the projects steadilyimproved each year and grades for the course increased each year. The grades for the 2023 classwere significantly higher than the grades for the 2019 class, which was the first year the coursewas taught. We believe this is likely due to the addition of the experiential learning componentsto the class. The revised course received positive student comments in the course assessment,which indicated enhanced student interest and learning.Keywords – Ecological Engineering instruction, experiential learning, project-based learning,nbs, nature-based

artificial intelligence is used in education. I also advise on biological systemsengineering education.In 2019, when I started my Ph.D., I met Heydi and Juan Carlos from the Biological SystemsEngineering department. I also reconnected with Elias from the same department. We all share aGuatemalan background and speak Spanish, which brought us close. Together with Heydi, weworked to improve teaching assistant programs, focusing on using technology in teaching. Weheld workshops to promote collaboration between the education and biosystems engineeringdepartments and co-wrote a paper on digital tools in classrooms, emphasizing team building. Mywork in biosystems engineering expanded, including summer projects like advanced manuremanagement techniques

The study compares the studentswho participated in ECP, using various measures of engagement, motivation, cognitive processes,and collaborative learning experiences between spring 2022 and fall 2023. A well-developed andvalidated instrument, the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), was adoptedfor this study, as well as a self-developed questionnaire to measure students’ engagement duringthe implementation of pedagogy. The study contributes to the current understanding of the efficacyof ECP in enhancing learning outcomes. The study found a sustained level of cognitivedevelopment and motivation among the students, but there was a decline in peer learning andcollaboration. It provides
