Unstructured commentsThe last question in the survey asked participants to provide additional information that theybelieved could enhance doctoral training. Two themes emerged from their responses. The firsttheme pertains to the refinement of academic course plans. For instance, one faculty memberhighlighted the need for a revision in academic coursework to incorporate more relevantproblem-solving, data analytics, and writing skills. This sentiment aligns with another suggestionemphasizing that academic courses often focus excessively on “technical

However, procuring this crucialfeedback can often feel like an insurmountable challenge. In a recent research study aimed atgathering faculty feedback through an anonymous online survey, a notable revelation emerged –faculty members exhibit reluctance to participate in surveys.

Participants came into the programwith some awareness of sustainability and climate-change basics and challenges. Still, pre- andpost-program surveys and end-of-program interviews showed a short-term gain in knowledge ofsustainability and climate change among the SRTS-REU participants. These results can be usedto inform similar future programs that aim to engage undergraduate students in sustainabilitytopics.

Once input has been received and any finaladjustments to the objectives and rubrics have been made, the UPC will develop proposals forcurriculum changes.
