The blind evaluation used an aggregate figure [N/SLO2] for these three elements, which is compared against an average of the instructor’s threevalues at Times 1 and 3. This “critical understanding” learning outcome is the primary metric bywhich student performance was measured.In addition to course learning outcome evaluation, seven additional ASHE Education forSustainability (EfS) learning outcomes were assessed: 1) Each student will be able to define sustainability.

These students worked together with S&Tgraduate students to generate a working solution. This created a diverse work environment, andgave students experience collaborating as a member of a very heterogeneous group. Thediversity at times created some communication issues, but overall the team greatly benefitedfrom the different perspectives provided by the different educational backgrounds of the teammembers.Accomplishments and Lessons LearnedThe comparisons between the signal

Through this, engineers generate potential solutions to theproblem, select an optimal solution, and design and engage in a step-by step-plan(s) andassociated analysis using engineering disciplinary skills. They verify results, evaluate, and adjustthe solutions they work on accordingly, until they reach an optimal solution for their identifiedproblems.10 This is an important process for practicing engineers, however, rarely are first yearengineering students exposed to and able to practice this process.

First, statements in the interview were coded with descriptive labelsthrough emergent coding, and these codes were categorized into themes. Constant comparison,first within each interview and then within each group (i.e., children as a group and parents as agroup), was used to continually sort the data until a robust set of themes explaining the data wasdeveloped for each
