history of engineers. At present, 30 textbooks reflecting the concept of greenengineering education have been revised and newly edited, covering variousdisciplines such as engineering, science, management and law.2. Construction of Green Engineering Courses ECUST has offered a series of courses related to green engineering. First,"Fundamentals of Enterprise EHS Risk Management" has been offered to allengineering undergraduates as a compulsory course. This course built by over fortycorporate alumni and university faculty was listed as a national-level MOOC in 2017.Taken by about 2,300 people each year, it has been listed as a required or electivecourse by 106 universities nationwide. Second, eight "Green Engineering" electivecourses have been

timeline that reflects theresearcher’s tenure at the university. At this level, faculty members can tailor meaningful projectsfor researchers over a set period. The last and broadest level of participation is short-termengagement through undergraduate and graduate courses. For short-term engagement, studentsparticipate in community-based class projects for one semester or can take elective courses thatoffer community-based research. With short-term engagement, students apply concepts ofcommunity-based research. This participatory approach serves as an opportunity for students toconduct research and advance into mid-term engagement opportunities (Figure 1). These levels ofengagement provide a more diverse audience that is engaged in community-based

processes. Students worked in groups tocreate 3D parts with cultural or historical perspective. Students searched for art forms, traditions, socialhabits, and rituals from the chosen cultural background or a significant time in history and used it asinspiration to create unique CAD designs and then 3D printed models. Students were required to incorporatethe best DfAM practices required to successfully design a part using additive manufacturing. Each studentgroup prepared a poster that was shared in a gallery walk [17]. Everyone explored the variety of culturallyand historically inspired projects during the gallery walk and self-reflected on the information in an essay.Students were encouraged to include thoughts on unconscious bias, norms, habits

. That systems thinking perspective can be applied to anything, really, including social problems.”The first offering of introduction to sustainability challenges course was in the Fall 2015semester. Metrics for the engineering sustainability designation as a whole, such as participationand placement, indicated some positive results (for example, see above) but assessments of thelearning outcomes for the introductory seminar class (see Table 2 below for learning outcomesand current assessment plan) also indicated some areas where we fell short of learning targets inthe initial years of the designation. For instance, students’ ability to describe sustainability wasrather anemic.For example, D.T. (2018) wrote in a final reflection paper (see

, intrapersonal, and interpersonal. The cognitive dimensionpertains to an individual's increasing ability to effectively process and comprehend information.Simultaneously, the intrapersonal dimension focuses on self-awareness, self-reflection, and theregulation of emotions and thoughts. Lastly, the interpersonal dimension involves an individual'scapacity to engage in and comprehend relationships with others, though the process ofdeveloping empathy and co-creating shared meaning. These dimensions represent distinct modesof development and influence how individuals perceive and interact with the world, themselves,and others. Following this framework, our study uses Kegan's theory to position developmentalideas associated with innovation and inform

human and non- human, through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. 8. As followers of Jesus Christ, we are not our own, but are instead members of His body and servants of God. 9. Our work matters to God, should reflect God’s values, and should align with God’s purposes. 10. Designing for sustainability, with its conscientious use of resources and consideration of environmental, economic, societal, and global contexts, is a helpful framework for approaching design work in a manner consistent with faithful stewardship and obedience, reflecting God’s love for humans and the rest of His creation, upholding His values of justice and mercy, and aligning with his plan for future

The findings emphasize the significance of integratingexperiential learning methods into environmental engineering education to enhance activeengagement and skill development among students. Importantly, these results hold broaderimplications for educational practices, highlighting the crucial role of hands-on, experientiallearning methodologies in nurturing collaborative skills vital for the future success ofengineering professionals. The limitation identified was the use of a single group for thisexperimental study as well as the small sample size.AcknowledgementThis study is part of the work that was supported by the National Science Foundation Grant
