anticipation of the actualdevelopment of new programs for either undergraduate or graduate students, a pilot course inrenewable energies was conducted during the summer of 2021. The course was offered forjunior/senior undergraduate students and had a broad presentation of renewable energies,theories, and practices associated with each. For this pilot course, a series of invited speakerlectures were offered. Experts in the field covered technical aspects of solar, wind, andbioenergy, as well as business, legislative and geopolitical aspects. Students taking the courseparticipated in an end-of-semester survey about their perception of renewable energies, theassociated industries, and their interest in pursuing jobs related to them.

February 2024, it is estimated that over 3.2 million podcasts exist globally, withthis number continuously growing, demonstrating the high impact on communication.[2]Numerous podcasts have been developed to support outreach and communication in engineeringeducation; a few are highlighted in this study. For example, one of the most recent podcasts inchemical engineering education is “In the (Fume) Hood (ITFH).”[3] ITFH hosts initially focusedon material and energy balance problems and case studies before expanding to include interviewswith chemical engineering professors and discussions on broader topics within the field.

With this in mind, theArts team was mostly responsible for ideation and design of ideas, while theengineering teams led the majority of the practical implementation of the brainstormedideas. Similarly, the survey results showed that the average rating for instructor supportand guidance was 2.5 out of 5. This low score, can be attributed to the nature of designthinking pedagogy where instructor acts as a facilitator and leave students on their ownto explore the whole scope of design and encourage them to work togethercollaboratively. In the open-ended questions, the students showed a high level ofsatisfaction with the selected projects
