- Germany (Green Organizations: Global Responsibility for Environmental andEconomic Necessity) is a study-abroad course offered at Indiana University-Purdue UniversityIndianapolis. The course focused on sustainable practices in business and industry and involvedclassroom work and industry site visits prior to travelling to Germany for the 10-day study-abroad component. Upon return to the U.S., several students in the course participated in aservice-learning project that focused on recycling, an aspect of sustainable practice. The study-abroad component provided the exposure to sustainability and fostered interpersonalrelationships between the students, which contributed to the successful completion of theservice-learning project.

] in Australia, there wereserious issues regarding the low motivation students had to interact with academics, which had an impact ontheir morale. Furthermore, student/staff ratios were very high; hence there was no capacity for any effort fromthe academics. Some academics felt that undergraduates were unmotivated and that there was no value toengaging with them outside the classroom environment. In order to find ways to address these problems, andprovide students with a space to develop sense of belonging and engage with their peers through a co-curricularexperience, the School of Civil Engineering in 2015 developed the Icarus program.
