thanhalf (57%) of students perceived increased knowledge of sustainability, and more specifically,sustainability as it related to food waste. More than half (57%) perceived greater awareness ofthe connections among sustainability, engineering problem solving and biodigester technology.Student responses strongly indicated that they enjoyed learning about the biodigester and how itworks (64%) and how the effluent produced in the biodigester could be sustainability repurposed(29%).VI. Conclusions and ImpactsThis study aligns to key characteristics of education for sustainable development [19] while alsoenhancing students’ knowledge of the ways in which engineering can be used to solveenvironmental problems [6]. The collaboration between researchers

andrepresent discipline-specific content in a manner that can foster student understanding is the mostonerous aspect of learning to teach [38], [39].In education, numerous researchers have studied PCK in association with math [40], [41] andscience teaching [42], [43], and recently, PCK has also been adapted in engineering education[44]. Within engineering education, PCK focuses on three domains: “knowledge of how studentsthink about, experience, and understand engineering; knowledge of engineering curricula; andknowledge of instructional strategies that are particularly powerful in teaching engineering [25,p. 148]. All three domains are critical for developing engineering teachers’ PCK. Thus, studieshave explored engineering and technology teachers

,resulting in better understanding, cooperation, and happiness among the crew. This type oftransfer of knowledge from the classroom to other aspects of their lives is common amongstudents in the class.Example of Curiosity in Holistic Engineering MethodologyTransdisciplinary knowledge content gives students the opportunity to explore and practice thecycle of observation, curiosity, imagination, and creativity through multivariate data. After anintroductory lecture on visual thinking and practice with seeing, imagining, and drawing and areading on multivariate data students engaged in a biomimicry project. In their sketchbooks theydissect and draw all the parts of a burr to see how it allows for plant dispersal and make theobservational connection to
