These requirements were established to ensureacademic equilibrium among participants.To elaborate on the application process, each prospective participant underwent an interview toassess their interests and understanding of sustainability concepts. Questions concerned theirperceptions of sustainability, its potential applications within their engineering-focuseduniversity curriculum, and how they envisioned integrating sustainability principles into theirfuture careers. The responses collected during these interviews were analyzed to establish apreliminary ranking of candidates. This ranking was further evaluated by two university facultymembers, each with distinct expertise: one specializing in sustainability

Thisengineering curriculum would be supported by math, physics and chemistry courses, includingelectronics and thermodynamics through the physics department. The initial engineering sciencedegree was not meant to be an ABET-accredited degree but a pathway for students interested inengineering to gain engineering training while integrating other interests such as business,environmental science, and data science. This degree was intended to provide strong preparationfor careers in areas such as entrepreneurship, project management, architecture/design,government technology policy

Most academic and research institutions often operate in silosrather than in organizational structures that facilitate learning and discovery across disciplines.Interdisciplinary research and education have been recommended as an approach to tackle suchproblems [5], [6].

Thus, some researchers link the two perspectives to get amore fully integrated view.

In the following, we prefer the third interpretation as it provides amore comprehensive understanding of identity.

This course explores the use of real-world experience at a deeperlevel within the curriculum, with students engaged in team-oriented instructional methods. In recent years, strong interest has gained traction for the incorporation of project-basedlearning (PBL) in a variety of different engineering disciplines, e.g. [26-33]. These previous effortscan inform proposed curriculum. However, few prior efforts have occurred to implement PBLthroughout an entire engineering curriculum. One exception is the Iron Range Engineering (IRE)program, which started in 2010 and uses 100% PBL with no

Furthermore, project-based learninghas shown significant benefits in engineering domains, specifically in interdisciplinary fields such asrobotics which require hands-on experience to master the discipline adequately. However, designinga project-based learning experience to teach control theory in a hands-on setting can be challenging,due to the rigor of mathematical concepts involved in the subject. Moreover, access to reliable hard-ware required for a robotics control lab, including the robots, sensors, interfaces, and measurementinstruments, may not be feasible in developing countries and even many academic institutions in theUS.

challenges that multi-disciplinary collaborations may present [9] - [12].Teaching multidisciplinary skills in the engineering classroom, though important, can bechallenging due to a variety of reasons. First, engineering students traditionally find themselvesrestricted by a narrow disciplinary focus [13]. Though multidisciplinary courses can better preparestudents for real world contexts [14], for learning to become more multi-disciplinary, instructorsthemselves need to be trained to break disciplinary silos and successfully teach students how tofunction on multi-disciplinary teams [15]. Second, the engineering curriculum is already packed[16], often leaving little room for integrating multidisciplinary courses. Further, classroom settingscan be
