American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Inverted Approach to Teach InversionAbstractInversion is one of the most important weather phenomena that determines air quality and istypically covered in courses concerning air pollution. Anecdotal evidence indicates that followingtextbook readings and lectures, students generally express misconceptions about this topic. Addingactive learning to the classroom has been advocated amongst the best practices for highereducation, with physical in-class demonstrations being especially effective for engineeringeducation. The study explores the impact of adding a laboratory demonstration, centered oncreating an artificial inversion layer (with dry ice, smoke bombs, and bubble

Backyards and BeyondAbstractThis paper presents three models for integrating environmental justice topics into environmental/ civil engineering courses. The first model utilizes a qualitative perspective, based on a videorecording of the community panel at the 2019 American Society for Engineering Education(ASEE) Annual Conference. This panel provides numerous examples of environmental justiceissues from the lived perspective of residents, including issues associated with industrial airpollutants from Tonawanda Coke in New York and drinking water in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,and Flint, Michigan. Segments of this video were integrated into a fall 2020 course for first-yearcivil engineering students, in relation to the assignments on ethics and

The analysts used a domain analysis approach[14]. Predefined codes obtained from the literature review served as the basis for initial dataanalysis, but addition rounds included new codes based on Saldaña, 2013 [15]; Mejia et al., 2017[11]; Grubbs et al., 2018 [16]; and Hsiao, 2019 [17].

According toeconomic theory, the current engineering focus continues to be project assessment, often withoutconsidering any social and environmental impact.According to [3], the social crisis in Chile in October 2019 demanded equality and finishedabuses, an apposition of a hierarchical society in which a group has greater power or status. Thisdemand is directly related to the social sustainability indicated by the SDGs. Given this context,there is already an approach to equality for students who participated in this study.METHODOLOGYThis research work evaluates the impact of problem-based learning (PBL) on sustainabilitycriteria for
