) among other skills.Environmental engineering education is well positioned to provide students with opportunities totake a global approach to environmental problems. Study abroad experiences are known toprovide cultural immersion that exposes students to different social situations, and when relatedto the students’ academic program, these experiences provide technical diversity, or differentways to handle professional situations, that otherwise would not be experienced in the classroomor home institution (Downey et al., 2006; Lucena et al., 2008). International research and studyabroad experiences result in the development of the individual’s global engagement as well ascareer choices and technical knowledge (Page et al., 2009). Coupling the

]. Additionally, the EnvironmentalEngineering Grand Challenges seek to sustainably supply food, water and energy, while curbingclimate change and adapting to its impacts [3].The Environmental Engineering Grand Challenges also give direction on how to enhanceenvironmental engineering curriculum to address these grand challenges. In addition to depth ofenvironmental engineering knowledge, the environmental engineer should also develop breadthin areas such as systems analysis, data science, social sciences, policy, law, humanities, health,global cultures and engagement [3]. This breadth can be achieved through extracurricular studentcontests and projects, such as EPA’s P3 student design competition or Engineers WithoutBorders. While international projects

four person teams examine projects through the feasibility andconcept design phases to evolve and develop concepts that are not only technically feasible buteconomically, culturally, socially and politically acceptable. Course projects require literaturesearches and regulatory investigations. The technical nature of projects includes biological,chemical, mass transfer, and physical processes studied by the students in previous courses. Alesson on design heuristics is included to facilitate brain storming sessions. The use of decisionmodels to evaluate alternatives is required. Students also analyze the carbon footprint ofpotential courses of action and use this information in their decision models. In addition, allprojects include design of

To this end, the learning objectives for the summerresearch students were:After completion of the research project, students should be able to 1. write testable hypotheses 2. design and carry-out experiments in a reproducible way 3. analyze data and identify key findings 4. communicate findings in written, visual and verbal formThe final deliverables of a research project included a research paper to be archived in theuniversity’s library system, a poster and/or oral presentation given to an internal audience and anexternal audience if feasible (depends on timing and funding), and records of physical lab

The expected studentoutcomes from the activity are as follows: (1) Define inversion as a natural and importantmeteorological phenomenon; (2) Articulate a deeper understanding of inversion mechanics; and(3) Relate inversion with high ground level air pollutant concentrations. A pre-activity quiz of thestudents’ understanding, from their reading, was used to establish a baseline. The same quiz wasdelivered as a post-activity quiz, following the demonstration. We compared the results from thepre-activity quiz scores with the post-activity quiz scores. The results indicated an improvementin students’ understanding of inversion and air quality. The correct

Students found it difficult to adjust to different online learning styles from differentprofessors [5]. For instance, some professors recorded themselves in front of a whiteboard andposted the video on the Learning Management System (LMS), while maintaining a traditionalhomework, quiz, and exam schedule, while other professors produced interactive livesynchronous learning sessions that included student engagement, online assignments

The National Academy of Sciences’ definition of resilience has spurred atheory of resilience that centers on four successive stages surrounding a disruptive event, suchas COVID-19: (1) plan and prepare, (2) absorb, (3) recover, and (4) adapt. In this paper wepropose a framework that environmental programs can employ to ‘adapt’ (stage 4) and ‘bounceforward’ to a more resilient modus operandi long-term.

Emphasizing that energy literacy encompasses notonly technical and scientific knowledge, but also values and attitudes (the “affective” domain)and habits and practices (the “behavioral domain”), they concluded that effective energyeducation should target knowledge and values, asserting that this combination would result inmore responsible energy-related actions. Dias et al. (2004) stated that barriers to efficient energyuse include institutional, market, organizational, and behavioral concerns. They asserted thatrational energy education must go beyond attention to “elementary” conservation measures –such as turning off lights – to promote understanding of energy
