“Entangled Worlds:Technology and the Anthropocene — Ushering the Planetocene: New Humanity and Post-Anthropocene Technologies.” The term Anthropocene is proposed and increasingly employed todenote the current epoch in which human activity has a dominant effect on the planet [4]. Theterm Planetocene is a concept that envisions an era where the primary focus is on prioritizing theneeds and well-being of our planet as a whole. Ushering in the Planetocene is a call to action fora collective, global commitment to safeguard our planet's natural systems and ensure aharmonious coexistence between human species in societies and the broader biosphere.This course, co-designed by faculty from both humanities and technology backgrounds,leverages the expertise

For example, comment G indicatingthat the instructor should “push students harder” is complimentary to Comments L and M, whichsurfaced the concern that the course “lacked depth in engineering”. In general, studentsresponded positively to the blended, flipped, modified mastery

Thus many students have benefitted from these curricularchange efforts, but students, the target audience of these changes, have not yet played asignificant role in shaping these change efforts. We hypothesize there is much to learn fromstudents; students bring fresh, innovative perspectives, and the inclusion of students promotes auser-centric approach, whereby educational changes can be designed with their specific

metacognitive andreasoning strategies, teamwork skills, and even class attendance” [4]. However, some of thetradeoffs include that PBL can be less effective at developing content knowledge, the wrongconclusions students reach may go uncorrected, the activities are often difficult for the instructorto implement, and students may be resistant to the new paradigm of being responsible for theirown learning [4, 5]. Several of these concerns may be mitigated by implementing an approachinvolving “scaffolding” as a balance between challenge and support, with heavy instructorsupport at the beginning of an activity that is then gradually reduced throughout the activity [2,4]. To make PBL even more effective, the problems to be solved may involve activity
