Responsibility: Engineers play a crucial role in creating sustainable solutions for global challenges like climate change, resource depletion, and pollution. Starting this conversation early prepares them to take on this responsibility. 4. Innovation: By understanding sustainability from the start, students are more likely to innovate and design with a sustainable future in mind, leading to more environmentally- friendly and socially-conscious engineering practices. 5.

engineers taught me that engineering is much deeper than piecing somethingtogether, but rather, it is applying math, science, and design to solve a problem. Originally, I wouldlook at the world with health science tunnel vision, only focusing on the physical wellness ofindividuals. However, the more I worked with my psychology and engineering peers, the more Irealized these other disciplines should, in fact, be recognized.As I come closer to entering the work force, I can say that through this interdisciplinary education, Iwill step into the world with an inclusive perspective. Thanks to this course, I now have a uniqueexperience under my belt, and an open mind to the disciplines around me.VJV Reflections (Psychology, Texas A&M University
