The instructor has extensive backgroundin engineering and industry relations.Since our department is quite widely constituted, our

We illustrate this idea using the Four Domains ofLeadership Strength (Rath and Conchie, 2008) and point out to our students that by celebratingtheir strengths, they can develop highly functional teams that overcome their individualweaknesses. Further, we implement best practices, making evidence-based adjustments to ourteaching. We model being receptive to constructive criticism by checking with students aftereach unit to see what is or is not effective for their learning. We routinely use this studentfeedback to tweak activities and improve the course. In this way, we generate a classroomenvironment in

Creating a toolset for educational andprofessional environments requires utilizing principles related to force sustainability andanalytical tools that are specifically matched with data analysis. To demonstrate and facilitate theengineering management student experience, the researchers utilized foundational tools likeExcel, tableau, and Orange and sophisticated experiments using IBM Watson.Excel serves as a significant touch point for graduate students in analyzing data on sustainabilityconcepts. It also offers a platform for statistical viewpoints and a practical bridge to decision-making. Engineering management students could
