]. b. Organic Evolution of the Two-Part FormatThe next planning committee was formed in January of 2022 when it was determined that theConference would be in person. The planning committee, led by co-chairs Lynn Albers (Multi),Micah Lande (ERM), and Bala Maheswaren (EPP), met regularly and decided to revisit the eighttopics previously prepared for 2020. The committee combined the eight topics into four andplanned a two-part ITH whereby the first half involved a roundtable discussion of the four topicsand the second half was led by a team conducting an NSF-funded study on ProfessionalDevelopment for Faculty. The two-part format worked well and the use of a two-minute video tointroduce the four topics for Part 1 was well received [4]. The same

consensus indescribing the “ideal” environmental engineer centered around desired skillsets and knowledge.Effective communication skills, which integrate both technical communication as well asinterpersonal skills, were identified as critical. Respondents defined technical communicationskills as encompassing the ability to write and present professional reports, while interpersonalskills comprised abilities to: a) consider stakeholder input and feedback as valuable andnecessary to the project’s success; b) adapt written and oral communication to diversestakeholder audiences; and c) practice empathy when communicating project updates andimpacts to stakeholders.Strong consensus also emerged around the shared perspective that the ideal

highlight the importance of each ofthese contexts from practical and ethical perspectives, they are then introduced to the Biblicalconcept of Christian stewardship. The SaS framework defines Christian stewardship as theresponsibility Christians have to actively manage and make use of the resources God hasentrusted to them in a manner consistent with God’s commands and character. This idea can bemost succinctly captured by 1 Corinthians 4:2, which states “Now it is required that those whohave been given a trust must prove faithful” [13]. In order to tie the concept of sustainability tostewardship, students are then presented with a theological progression, with items 1-9thoroughly supported with Biblical references (included in Appendix B).

tolerance aredeterminants of these future capacities, but the results suggest that: (a) these capacities mayrequire more personalized or experiential learning opportunities than provided by the Ohio StateEmPOWERment Program, (b) these skills are more rooted in prior experience, or (c) they maydevelop over a longer time frame. This latter possibility calls for longitudinal studies that last formore than a year. Future work could investigate the underlying factors and potentialinterventions that may enhance graduate students' capacities to network and tolerate risk.7 References[1] National Academy of Engineering and E.

By integrating these diverse methods, the study aimed to provide a holisticunderstanding of the effectiveness of sustainability education in engineering programs.Population The study's population consisted of undergraduate engineering students enrolled in specificcourses at institution A and institution B over four semesters. At Institution A, students were fromthe course CIVL 3230 Introduction to Environmental Engineering. At institution B, the coursesinvolved were MENG 425 Renewable Energy in the spring semester and MENG 313 FluidMechanics and MENG 418 Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) in the fall

By engaging in projects, engineering students learn to grapplewith real-world, multidimensional challenges, to adapt and innovate—a crucial mindset foraddressing the multifaceted issues faced by engineers [18].One of the early definitions for PBL [19] involves five distinct aspects: a) student-drivenproblem-solving where they propose their problems or choose from options, fostering ownershipand engagement, b) integration of a range of educational activities, c) a tangible deliverableoutcome, such as a presentation, prototype, or research report, demonstrating

A complete list of the materials providedcan be found in Appendix B. Weekly tasks were often divided between members such thatreasonable progress was made on individual unit processes, experimentation, CAD development,materials checkoffs, and building.

CoursesTo classify whether courses align with the previously stated definition, a tiering system wasutilized to divide courses into comprehensible categories of how a course includes sustainabilityor could include sustainability within its curriculum.The tiering system comprises four levels: "A-Tier," "B-Tier," "C-Tier," and "D-Tier." Each tier isaccompanied by a specific definition that serves as a guideline for classifying coursesaccordingly:A-Tier courses are highly centralized or encompass concepts of sustainability. They are coursesbuilt around the foundation (or a foundation) of sustainability and how it applies to theengineering, technical, or sociocultural topic discussed in the course.B-Tier courses have a primary focus on some engineering
