They also learn from guest speakers, and at the end of the two semesters theydevelop a poster presentation that illustrates how they are implementing sustainability in theircourse(s). The pilot year of the program (the 2024-25 school year) had over 30 participants whotaught over 100 classes that reached an estimated 2000 unique students.

analysis reveals a notable differencebetween students' cumulative GPA, encompassing grades earned at their previous institution(s),and their GPA earned solely at one state university in California post-transfer. The cumulative GPAis, on average, 0.3 points higher than the GPA earned after transferring. This disparity stronglysuggests that students transferred a greater number of non-engineering courses, where they hadachieved higher grades, thus contributing to the higher cumulative GPA. The lower GPA earned atthe university after transfer likely reflects the more lower-division engineering coursework withinthe engineering major, as well as the potential challenges of adjusting to a new academicenvironment. The pattern of transfer credit loss
