International Capstone Projects.1. Introduction The issue of water scarcity is a persistent problem affecting people worldwide despiterevolutionary accomplishments in clean water generation. It is estimated that four billion peopleexperience water scarcity at least one month per year [1]. While a few technologies likedesalination, reverse osmosis, and refrigeration dehumidifiers are used effectively

and enhancing the thermophysical properties of synthetic oils. This was the first demonstra- tion of the work ever done in this field and resulted in broad environmental and cost benefits, especially in energy storage and heat transfer applications. She has more than three years of experience teaching ther- mofluidic, mechanical design, and solid and structure courses and supervising senior capstone projects collaborating with industries such as Saint-Gobain, Klein Tools, and Parker. She also has served in lead- ership roles at the Society of Women Engineers and STEM advisory task force to represent diversity and inclusion and improve student success and retention for underrepresented students

is traditionally a term paperwhich frames a renewable energy technology such as thermal energy storage, perovskite solar cells, orfast-charging Li-ion batteries. Students are asked to provide context on alternative solutions along with a 2technical description of the technology and future needs/opportunities. For the purpose of this study,students created their final project on the Gala platform rather than a term paper.While there is some literature that supports the introduction of concepts of sustainability in engineeringclassrooms using design thinking approaches [11], sustainability literacy tests [12], capstone projects[13,14] and

been pivotal in the development of structural programs to promote research inpredominantly undergraduate institutions [2]. This has led to an increase in undergraduateresearch programs at different universities over the last 35 years.Several models for undergraduate research programs exist, in addition to REUs. These modelsinclude capstone experiences, senior theses, internships and co-ops, course-based undergraduateresearch experiences (CURES), wrap-around experiences, bridge programs, consortium/project-based programs, community-based research programs [1], [3]. However, most of these programsare relatively short-term (i.e., limited to one to two semesters) and thus constrain how deeplystudents can delve into their research.Earlier studies

to integrate and track conscientious engineering aspects throughout the undergraduate educational experience across the college. His efforts include formally integrating sustainability design requirements into the mechanical engineering capstone projects, introducing non-profit partnerships related to designs for persons with disabilities, and founding the Social/Environmental Design Impact Award. He manages several outreach and diversity efforts including the large-scale Get Out And Learn (GOAL) engineering kit program that reaches thousands of local K-12 students.Dr. Natasha Andrade, University of Maryland, College Park Dr. Natasha Andrade is a Senior Lecturer and the Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies in

experience is limitedto a single capstone project undertaken in their final year [13-15]. Despite the fact that engineering and scientific knowledge has grown at an astonishing rate overthe past century, engineering still only nominally requires 4 years of training (i.e., a bachelor’s degree) tobe able to enter and operate in the engineering workforce. For comparison, the number of years oftraining needed to practice law has increased from 4 to 7 and to practice medicine has increased from 3 to10 over the same time period. Given the breadth and depth of the technical knowledge students need tomaster, there are very few opportunities to incorporate additional non-technical material into mosttechnical courses, especially the engineering
