these skills, they have yet tofully adopt or integrate them into their professional practice. In addition, the lack of specific,actionable plans for skill acquisition reflects a gap between awareness and action. While studentsacknowledged the need for continuous improvement in ICC, they did not consistently providedetailed strategies for how they would develop these competencies further. This is particularlyimportant in engineering, where the ability to engage effectively with diverse perspectives isessential for designing solutions that are culturally relevant and ethically sound.Providing students with more guidance on creating actionable development plans could helpbridge this gap and ensure that they are well-prepared to apply ICC skills in
their responses, ensuring ethical data collectionpractices. This study is particularly timely given the increasing global focus on sustainability andthe urgent need to equip future engineers with the necessary knowledge and skills to addresscomplex environmental and social challenges.The instrumentSulitest is a globally accessible online platform designed for the enhancement and evaluation ofSustainability Literacy (SL). Sulitest assesses sustainability knowledge among engineeringstudents at the undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral levels. Prior studies have determined theinstrument’s reliability, yielding a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.79 [13], a value considered acceptablefor demonstrating internal consistency in social research [14]. The

(2 items)For the learning outcomes measures, at the end of the course, we ask the students a set of 20questions with these instructions: Each college course you take may help you improve your abilities in a variety of areas. For example, some courses may improve your critical thinking skills; some may improve your communication skills; and some courses may not improve your abilities in any area at all. Please indicate how much your abilities have improved in the following areas AS A RESULT OF your enrollment in [Course Name]. We are interested only in the
Principles and EnergySystems. Conservation Principles is a foundational chemical engineering course based on the ideas ofmass conservation in simplified industrial processes. This course starts by introducing students to theideas of chemical composition and mass balances. From there, we venture to diagrams of chemicalmixing tanks. As the course progresses, intricacies arise, including reactants or bypasses, multiple intakes,or recycles and purges. Energy systems was an overarching course based on surface-levelenergy-producing engineering processes. The course continued with the ideas of batteries, magnetism,and combustion to the different kinds of electrical systems. Furthermore, as each system was discussed,ethical debates on producing these power

presented as an in-class activity during one of the 65-minute lectureperiods. There are usually two sections of the class offered every year with between 15 and 25students per section. In addition to these two economics-oriented modules, in-class activities ontopics of global engineering ethics, culture, DEIB and mental health issues while traveling, likelyexperiences in other cultures, and appropriate technology are included. Because lecture onlyhappens once per week and the class covers a wide range of topics, each topic is intended to bean introduction to the material. Students who are interested in any of the topics are encouraged toseek out additional courses or minors in the area of interest. The following modules are thereforeintended to

This included utilizing well-validated measures throughout thestudy to enhance reliability and conducting inter-rater reliability checks to guaranteeconsistency in data collection. To further strengthen the validity of their conclusions, the studyincorporated triangulated data from multiple sources, including one-on-one interviews and athorough review of relevant academic scholarly journals.Results The following four themes emerged from the data analyses and in-depth case studyinterviews.
