-Centered Design to Connect Engineering Concepts to Sustainable Development Goalsthem to peers in the community in which they live. In India, mothers of middle school and elementaryschool students participated in Ignite and demonstrated that this program can also be used as part ofadult education in innovation and entrepreneurship. The Guatemalan program, which was geared towardmiddle school and high school students, included a component related to student career goals.

Some problems include weak grounding in math and writing,lack of motivation, and insufficient conscientiousness. Academic institutions are under pressure toimprove student retention and graduate rates, whereas students are under pressure to graduateand find employment. Consequently

solve problems, using the technicalknowledge developed in their professional career, it has been considered that these skills make iteasier for them to reach results that involve the solution of mathematical problems, or those relatedto science, through the use of technical skills, research or analysis and synthesis. In this sense, theacademia seems to have placed the emphasis on hard and technical skills, while, non-technical ones,have been left in a secondary stage in the case of engineers, ignoring their role on their professionaldevelopment. This project proposes a model that will bring together more than 180 engineeringstudents and 4 university professors, by involving them in a real challenge that they might solve bymeans of their

However, when switching the fluid to water, the property values are emphasizedover the relationships due to the complex relationships hidden behind the steam tables. Therelationships between the various properties is not obvious with the presence of phase change(e.g. boiling) occurring within typical engineering conditions. As a result, students often fail todevelop an intuitive understanding of water property relations. Later in engineering careers,the intuitive deficiency can manifest itself through an over reliance on the computer generatedmodels. Therefore, there is a need to emphasize property relations
