The goal is for students to connect energy concepts to their own lives andengage in discussions about how global issues affect their local environment. This is intended to empowerthem to make informed decisions about energy use and contribute to a more sustainable future.Through thematic analysis [23], we identified four

However, due todifferent cultural settings, it took some effort to convince students to take the initiative to “lead”conversations and team organizations. Students were advised to appoint a “team lead” for eachsub-team, to better coordinate tasks and scheduling. During fall semester, all students exploredthe project concept, finalized the project requirements and worked on planning and design.Teams were given two weeks of additional time to meet initial deadlines to compensate for slow,unexpected late starts compared to the rest of the class.

Furthermore, research by Nabi et al.[6] and Zhang et al. [12] concludes that PECs are directly linked to greater leadershipcapacity and increased innovation in business processes. Other studies support these findings[7], [13].One of the most effective programs for fostering these competencies is EMPRETEC, aUnited Nations initiative established by the United Nations Conference on Trade andDevelopment.
