experience. Over time a JOULE energy seminar series(JOULE) was added to elevate intellectual engagement in for trainees in The OhioState EmPOWERment Program and broaden their engagement with researchersacross this university. This paper investigates the development and accentuationof innovation capacities of Ph.D. trainees in The Ohio State EmPOWERmentProgram relative to other Ph.D. students who enrolled in science, technology,engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines at Ohio State and did not participate inthe Ohio State EmPOWERment Program. This work considers three differentconstructs for each of three scales (i.e., Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Cognitive).Of the nine different constructs, six pass assumption tests and pre-test scores

identified and refined through acontinuous faculty consensus process. Furthermore, faculty will use student and faculty feedbackfrom each course to refine and improve course content and delivery in future years. The twoproject-based courses, as currently implemented, introduce the competencies and constructsexplored in this paper. Qualitative assessments related to the formation of engineering identityare being conducted over several years to compare students enrolled in the new project-basedclasses with similar cohorts not enrolled in the courses. Outcomes will be shared with otherprograms in the department (Civil Engineering and Construction Engineering Technology) aswell as with other departments considering new approaches to fostering faculty

collaboration of the learners(p<0.050). In addition, gender and prior academic CGPA were found not to be significantlyassociated with the increase in peer learning and collaboration (p>0.05) while class level wasfound to be significantly associated (p<0.05). The findings of this study contribute valuableinsights to the field of environmental engineering education, suggesting that innovative, lesscumbersome, easy-to-use technology when combined with teaching methods can enhance peerlearning and collaboration. These findings may inform future curriculum design and instructionalapproaches to better equip students in addressing the complex environmental issues of our era.IntroductionThe world today faces numerous environmental challenges and
