leadership in different capacities at Lehigh University and Virginia Tech.Dr. Daniel S. Brogan, Virginia Western Community College Daniel S. Brogan has been an Assistant Professor of Engineering at Virginia Western Community College since 2017, where he primarily teaches first-year general engineering courses. From 2011 to 2017 he was a doctoral student in engineering education at Virginia Tech, where his research involved the development and classroom implementation of the Online Watershed Learning System (OWLS), a guided, open-ended cyberlearning environment that is driven by HTML5, JavaScript and CSS and serves as a user interface to the Learning Enhanced Watershed Assessment System (LEWAS) Lab. In 2011 he founded

implementation of the course and accentuated diverse skills and understandingsin our lectures, discussions, and course assignments. Quantitative and qualitative measures ofour students’ perception of their interdisciplinary understanding of climate change before and atthe end of the course suggest that our efforts were successful (Tables 3 and 4). Multidisciplinary teaching is known to be effective.9,10 We hope that our apparentsuccess with our multidisciplinary course provides an example that can be emulated by othersinterested in new models for teaching climate change and other highly complex subjects.WORKS CITED (1) Lemos, M.

Research is less clearas to if and how considerations of gender and race are integrated into environmental engineeringlearning frameworks (e.g., it is possible that these considerations are included within the “socialjustice” or “engineering and poverty” topics in Bielefeldt et al.’s [13] survey, but not known ornamed precisely). Many faculty members and cross-sector partners have strong interest increating learning settings that highlight the human health, cultural, social, and justice relateddimensions of environmental studies [5], [8], [14].
