The instrument has been administered through an online platform tomeasure the Sustainability Literacy knowledge of Engineering students in both undergraduateand graduate academic programs. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied to test thehypotheses and make comparisons. The results show statistically significant differences insustainability knowledge scores between students from undergraduate and graduate levels.One major finding involved the effect of generation on sustainability literacy. The sample’sundergraduates come from Generation Z, students who were born between 1993 and 2005, whilethe sample’s graduate students (Ph.D. and Master) come from

Additionally, a general course wasdevised and instructed in person to provide students with the tenants of intercultural learning andcontent necessary for their pre-departure preparation. Although the course was designed to begeneral, it included components where students customized a destination-specific travel plan. Ina later phase of this initiative, a residential course was executed for a winter break programtraveling to New Zealand. The pilot phase of the course spanned three semesters with

Within this context, and in risingup to these challenges, a comprehensive training of new professionals is essential and it is thetask of current engineers as well as engineering schools to incorporate this new scenario inthe training of new professionals.

Introduction 1.1. The Enrollment CliffConsistent enrollment or strategized growth is crucial for continuity of higher educationinstitutions. Enrollment defines their academic programs, their student experiences, and thefuture direction of the institution, specifically financial sustainability. Over the course of 2023,14 nonprofit four-year colleges announced closures and a handful of others announced mergersor acquisitions [1]. These are mostly small, private, tuition-dependent institutions with meagerendowments that have seen enrollment slipping for years

The game is played twicewithin a 65-minute class session. The first game does not have any tariffs imposed and thusrepresents a liberalized trade environment. The game is then run a second time under a scenarioin which one country has invaded another country and in response multiple countries haveimposed import tariffs on each other. Students also spend five-minutes reflecting on what theylearned about international trade.

degree program: a blocking factor score and a delayfactor score. The blocking factor score for Course A is the number of courses that a studentcannot enroll in (i.e., they are “blocked”) if the student does not pass Course A. The delay factorscore for Course A is the number of prerequisite courses in the longest prerequisite pathway thatincludes Course A. The cruciality of Course A within the degree program is found by addingCourse A’s blocking factor and delay factor scores. Figure 1 below depicts the blocking factor,delay factor, and cruciality of a course visually. Finally, a total score for the structuralcomplexity of the degree program is calculated by adding together the cruciality of all courses inthe most efficient pathway to completing

renewable energy curriculum proposed for higher education institutions anduniversities in the country.IntroductionAbout 770 million people in the world do not have access to electricity [1]. Of this population 597 millionlive in sub-Saharan Africa [1]. The opportunity for providing off-grid access to electricity to ruralcommunities has been demonstrated through solar powered mini-grids [2,3]. These systems typicallycomprise a set of solar panels, batteries to provide electricity when solar power is not available, e.g. atnight, and may employ a fossil-fueled generator to also provide backup power. While mini-grids of thistype are starting to provide access to electricity in communities, there are many limitations that arecurrently limiting their

most of their studies remotely or online and pre-pandemic students are studentswho started their studies regularly and were interrupted in the middle of their process bysocial isolation.Individualism represents the degree of preference for teamwork and group membershipin a society. In the educational context, individualistic people tend to be students whoprefer individual work rather than collective work and seek their benefit [37]. Based onthe results in Table 1, we observe that both groups score high on the spectrum ofindividualism, with pre-pandemic students having a higher mean generating asignificant difference with post-pandemic students. However, it is interesting to notethat students who had their studies in a face-to-face manner

In so doing, we discovered that two ofthe items (7 and 10) detracted from the overall reliability of the scale, and so removed them fromthe calculation of the composite CC score. The resulting alpha reliability coefficient is .75 (forthe Grainger students) which represents an acceptable level internal consistency.The 12 Items 1.

Through this class, students are exposed tomultiple decision making scenarios common to practicing engineers and the appropriate toolsand approaches used to find the best solutions or answers. Though student learning outcomes forthis course are specific to the technical concepts covered, the
