progressionculminates in item 10, in which students are presented with the proposal that designingsustainably is a faithful act of stewardship. 1. God created, sustains, and affirms all creation, both human and non-human, as belonging to Him. 2. God gave human beings the responsibility of stewardship. 3. God desires for people to care for the non-human creation. 4. God desires for people to care for other humans. 5. Sin leads to all humans having a broken relationship with God and damaged and exploitative relationships with each other and the rest of creation. 6. God values justice for both the guilty and innocent but has mercy for those who repent. 7. God’s plan for the future culminates in a restoration of creation, both

authority, in a coordinated way, in order to foster systemic change.13Prior to commencing a CI initiative, it is recommended that three preconditions be in place tomotivate and enable the work, i.e.: “…an influential champion, adequate financial resources, anda sense of urgency for change.”14 From there, five conditions are adopted:12 1. A Common Agenda: Participants work together to develop a shared understanding of both the problem and how best to solve it collectively. 2. Mutually Reinforcing Activities: Participants engage in different activities, each determined by the strengths/areas of focus of the individual participating groups, all contributing to a coordinated plan

The ENE faculty enhanced the program with transportation industry-relatedcoursework, research, and internships with the support of the Department of Transportationfunding and collaborators. The faculty implemented these activities from the

2025 semester over spring break. The students will beimmersed in the bike-friendly city of Amsterdam, and visit several faculty and labs at TU Delft,including one of the only bicycle engineering labs in the world.Conclusion & Next StepsThe next steps for MEAM 1010 are to reconsider the content and implementation of the attitudestowards sustainability assessment and get IRB approval for administration so that results can bepublished in future work. The instructor will also work on better methods to evaluate the impactof including sustainability content in the course, potentially including the same attitudes towardssustainability assessment at the end of the course. For MEAM 2300, the instructor will continueto execute the plan to integrate

This internalmentor can be a faculty member or have a role in research, but they do not have to be involvedwith research or teaching at this university. This internal mentor can be a source of support tothe trainee as the trainee navigates their Ph.D. degree and their participation in the Ohio StateEmPOWERment Program.2.8 Individual Development Plan (IDP) and a Participation Agreement (PA) Each trainee in the Ohio State EmPOWERment Program completes an IndividualDevelopment Plan (IDP) and a

The student recruitment plan targeting women and members ofunderrepresented minorities was included. Each project included the learning outcomes, timeline,mentoring plan, and expected deliverables. For each project, financial support for one to twostudents was requested.

under thelens of sustainability. Next, students implemented the concept of linear economy to assess the fate of themedical device and formulated a plan to make it more sustainable using circular economy [26].In the following week, students were instructed on lean manufacturing practices and where these principlesalign with sustainability. Students learned about working on an assembly line to increase productionefficiency, scrap reduction, and how mass production could be modified when considering overstocking,i.e., push vs pull systems and inventory management. They researched distribution methods such as B2B,B2C and D2C to determine when medical devices implemented which delivery routes. They exploreddisintermediation and how that can save on
