, irreversible, andintegrative. By troublesome, they mean the concept or capability is difficult for students to learn;for example, it may be conceptually complex. By transformative, they mean it changes the waythe student views the discipline and knowledge of the subject. By irreversible, they mean oncethe student “sees” this new view, she/he will not revert to a more naïve perspective that she/hepreviously had. Finally, by integrative, they mean it allows the student to see connectionsbetween elements that were previously disjointed.Development of curriculum based on the identification of threshold concepts has recently beenenacted in engineering.3 However, in addressing threshold concepts, we must be mindful thatmany approaches to instruction do not

Perhaps the most prominent aspect of threshold concepts is their transformative nature.4 Onemanner of understanding the transformative criterion is to recall a concept that presented anentirely new lens to view the physical (and perhaps nonphysical) world. For example, fromelectrical engineering, one of the first ideas that may come to mind is the Fourier Transform of asignal f(t), ' 𝑓 𝜉 = 𝑓(𝑡) 𝑒 (*+,-. 𝑑𝑡, ∀𝜉 ∈ ℝ (1) ('From a purely mathematical point of view, the transform appears

lead students to effective behavioralchanges, ones that support intentional self-development.In this research, we have focused on creating cognitive dissonance between students’ statedvalues and subsequent behaviors across sustainability contexts. Using a variety of settings, tools,and methodologies, we have focused primarily on individual sustainability (emotional, social,physical, philosophical, and intellectual) and the self-knowledge that informs professional self-minded engineers, enhances decision making and problem solving in engineering and thesciences, cultivates mindfulness as an approach to sustainable living, and promotesunderstanding of the self as a sustainable system.This paper is based on work completed under an NSF Engineering

develop the application, an integrated development environment was needed that had easy-to-use, but powerful graphics and physics libraries, as well as the ability to be optimized forpersonal mobile devices. In addition, the application needed to be accessible by as many studentsas possible, requiring the environment to support development for multiple platforms. Almost allmobile phones run either Android OS, or iOS. So, these were the platforms that the applicationsought to support. With these requirements in mind, it became evident that Unity [19], a popularcross-platform game engine, was an ideal environment to use to develop this application. As agame engine, Unity has many powerful and simple physics and graphics libraries, in addition toa
