, especially if we bring them to people like Sarah, so it works well. With that in mind, the time with Sarah was a great addition to the class.”From this open-ended comment, a number of conclusion may be inferred. First, the tone andcontent suggest at least a degree of positive reception to the opportunity to engage in qualitativeresearch. Second, the involvement of a recognized expert is highlighted as important. And third,the specific inclusion of an instructor of nursing was viewed positively by this student ofenvironmental engineering. In contrast to the positive aspects of this comment, the student alsoconveyed a suggestion for improvement, namely: clear learning objectives and the use of gradingrubrics so that students could better

mitigate the injustice issue.As a result, integrating environmental justice themes into environmental engineering courses hasbecome more prevalent in university programs over the years [3-5], which has helped shift thecurriculum toward a justice-minded framework for the discipline. Even in chemical education,the incorporation of environmental justice themes in chemistry courses has increased and manyarticles describing its inclusion in the curriculum can be found in the chemical educationliterature [6-14]. It is worth noting that environmental justice is an integral part of social justice.Although the two are interconnected and overlap in their impact on marginalized communities,social justice encompasses fair and equal social and economic

within whichdecisions are made. In this paper, we share resources and teaching approaches we havedeveloped and used to help equip engineering students with this much-lacking knowledge.Introducing science-policy in traditional engineering curricula is a challenging task because onefirst needs to convince engineering faculty that policy-literacy is an integral part of engineeringeducation. Then, introducing science-policy in engineering is a complex task for both studentsand instructors. To date, we have chosen materials and teaching approaches assuming lack ofpolicy awareness among senior undergraduate and graduate engineering students. Despiteteaching with that lack of policy awareness in mind, we have witnessed student struggles withadapting to

,and society.A key characteristic of traditional humanities courses is their reliance on teacher-directedcurriculum and lecture-based instruction [15]. This approach, while familiar to many humanitiesprofessors who report spending a significant amount of time on teaching [16] can be lessengaging for engineering students. More importantly, these traditional methods of lecturedelivery often fail to cultivate the essential “Engineering Habits of Mind (EHoM)” required forsuccess in the modern engineering landscape. EHoM represents a set of core skills and mindsetssuch as systems thinking, adapting, problem-finding, and creative problem-solving thatdistinguishes engineers from other professions [17].Therefore, the use of PBL in teaching humanities

In recent years, the United Nations has worked to developpedagogical resources associated with the SDGs to make them more accessible to academia.These resources include teaching guides, learning outcomes, and evaluative assessments [33]. Inaddition to teaching resources, the SDGs rely on innovative solutions from engineers andeffective education practices to train the next generation of sustainability-minded communities[34].Figure 1.

. The 2023 ASEE ITH discussion was focused on howas faculty and instructors we may make a difference stewarding students through their educationalexperience and how we might consider sustainability as part of the engineering canon. This buildson the planning and structure of previous iterations of an ITH. In this paper, we share the history,evolution, and mindful structure for these events. We summarize recent efforts to present severalimportant topics related to timely engineering education subjects as well as fostering discussionamong participants via intimate, roundtable conversations based on provided discussion prompts.The 2023 session included a presentation of the Engineering for One Planet (EOP) initiative andFramework and the work to

Select schools who thrive as recognizedsustainability-minded schools were identified, and publicly available information was gatheredabout the schools’ sustainability education. When accessible, interviews with students of theinstitution were conducted to get a better understanding of the student experience
