This transitional period inbrain development, and ability to process and connect information, provides a beneficialplatform for exploring the STEM disciplines through hands-on, experiential activities.Intended learner outcomes evolved based on the literature reviews, input from education experts,and several iterations of the informal educational camps. The revised learner outcomes measurethe extent to which students: a) Increase cognizance and attitudes towards a global perspective of the environment and sustainability; b) Could identify personal behavior changes to live more sustainably; and, c) Could identify how society could change present behaviors to help maintain the planet’s limited
introduction, students reading of the scenario, student discussion, postdiscussion analysis and finalizing assessments.Two data collection sessions were conducted for each class, allowing every student to participateas both a discussant and an observer. Each observer was assigned primary responsibility for onlya single dimension of the EPSA Rubric.Based upon student comments compared to previous year’s course evaluations, the instructorshave found that the interdisciplinary EPSA scenarios generated more enthusiastic and higherlevel discussion than case studies that focused solely on ethics. An example of theinterdisciplinary nature of the EPSA scenarios is demonstrated in the EPSA “Clean Energy”scenario, shown in Appendix B, which was selected because
