This research also provides an opportunity for the integration ofinterdisciplinary educational experiences that combine liberal arts, science, and engineeringaspects of an undergraduate engineering education. The first section of this paper will provide anoverview of the global problem in water quality.

Lastly, this same research team comparedstudent and practicing engineer manifestations of adaptive expertise via the Fisher-Peterson AEsurvey instrument as well as through coded pre- and post-interview responses. Similar to theresults from the initial Fisher and Peterson (2001) work, their results indicated that the practicingengineers had more “multiple perspectives” and more overall manifestations of adaptiveexpertise than students (Ozturk, 2015).

Franklin and colleagues [3, 10] have developed initial learningtrajectories which represent essential understandings of basic quantum computing concepts, suchas reversibility [3] and other concepts including superposition, quantum state, entanglement, andmeasurement [10], by relating them to everyday concepts that are familiar to young learners,such as understanding a zipper as a reversible entity, and an optical illusion as an analog forsuperposition.

Old buildings are susceptible to energy loss which is inefficient and costlyover time. Furthermore, as proven through survey research that collected information from adiverse group of students, many felt that their mental health was not fully taken intoconsideration in the design of their living and workspaces. With the addition of greenery into theinterior of buildings on campus, we would be able to tackle all of these problems. Installingplants inside buildings has shown to have many benefits.
