Guided by these linkages, research budgets and needs could define projectsinvolving academe and industry and create learning opportunities for a broader communityinvolving students, faculty, and industry practitioners.

The quantitative growth of majors in higher education is generallyseen as a positive trend that supports the sustainability of the departments.

In this interactive activity, students were divided into teams, each with a set of 20 "Mitigation Action Cards" categorized into Standard and Dependent types. Each card represented a strategic action with specific costs, implementation times, and potential to protect residents from an impending hurricane threat. The teams were challenged to formulate a plan that maximized safety while adhering to budgetary constraints and time limitations. The goal of the game was to create an effective mitigation plan that (1) kept the most possible people safe, (2) used the

In the planning and preparation phase, we determined the scope ofthe tutorial, ensuring it focused on problems that could be expanded through programming toaddress larger challenges beyond manual solutions. We then compiled a list of real-life problemsthat could be modeled and solved using the numerical methods introduced in the tutorial,refining it to include problems that were either impossible or impractical to solve analytically,with a focus on sustainability to align with students
