Two different collaborative courses were held over four semesters withlecturers from the four universities. One of these courses, the International Engineering Project,was based on the Engineering Design Challenge organized by Engineers without Borders UK.Students from a variety of majors (e.g., architecture, civil engineering, IT, electrical engineering,mechanical engineering, environmental engineering, sustainable systems engineering) worked incross-university and cross-discipline groups to solve design challenges for two low-incomecommunities in Peru, and in the following year, a disadvantaged community in Cape York,Australia.

Recognizing the importance of fostering SL among engineering students tobuilding a sustainable future, this study aims to: (1) measure the current level of sustainabilityknowledge among undergraduate and graduate engineering students at a higher educationinstitution in Colombia, and (2) compare these scores against benchmarks at the university,national, and global levels.This comparative analysis will provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of currentsustainability education efforts and inform future curriculum development. Furthermore, thisresearch will contribute to a broader understanding of how engineering education can be betteraligned with the urgent need for sustainable solutions. A
include: 1. Teaching through classes focused on solving real problems optimally using technological tools. 2. Various teachers describe classes differently to accommodate different learning styles. 3. Use of interactive equipment and devices according to the subject matter. 4. Incorporation of the mechanical part in the classroom, especially in the case of robotics or technology courses. 5. Application of a case study that applies what has been learned. 6. Training people, interests, didactic material, and varied examples.These strategies can help create an inclusive environment promoting STEM learning.C. Active learningParticipants discussed active learning methodologies such as Project-Based Learning (PBL),Problem
learningapproach is essential to engage students in the activity of completing real engineering tasks.This approach involves students independently selecting and solving unstructured,open-ended engineering problems that do not have fixed solutions. To tackle such complexissues, students must apply the interdisciplinary knowledge and skills they have acquired,integrating them with the real-world context to design a reasonable solution. To address thesechallenging projects effectively, students must conduct multi-dimensional analyses and adaptflexibly to changing conditions. For instance, when working on a project related to newenergy vehicles, students need to draw upon knowledge from various fields such as newenergy, mechanical engineering, and artificial

and composite bodies-StaticsThe centroid serves as the geometric center of a body, coinciding with the center of mass or gravityonly when the material composing the body is uniform or homogeneous [10]. Formulas forcalculating the centroid of regular areas (such as circular arc segments, quarters, semicircle arcs,trapezoids, semi-parabolas, and parabolic areas) can be found at the end of Statics textbooks.To simplify these calculations, one can create a Centroid class that prompts for (a) the shape of thearea and (b) the required dimension(s) to calculate the centroid. For example, for a trapezoidalarea, the centroid can be determined by providing the magnitudes of the two bases and the altitude.In engineering mechanics, there are instances

project-based modules thatfocus on design thinking, collaborative innovation, and practical problem-solving. These can beadded to existing courses without requiring major curriculum changes.For example, a mechanical design course could include a project on sustainable materials for SMEsoperating under economic constraints. Likewise, AI courses could feature case studies on ethicaldecision-making in automation, encouraging students to analyze broader societal impacts. Byrefining existing curricula rather than overhauling them, universities can develop engineers whothink beyond technical execution and address complex, real-world challenges.Design and implementation of the creativity workshopTo test the effectiveness of creativity-focused

mechanical removal. This was done by a fleet of boats,excavators, and trucks to remove the excess macrophytes from the lake and leave them to dry in the sun toremove the water weight of the plants, which can be up to six times heavier when waterlogged. While thiswas an effective strategy to get back within government regulations, it was extremely inefficient;emissions were released at high rates from the heavy machinery, the macrophytes had to be dealt withafter removal, and the lake is still toxic, limiting recreational activities. Students were tasked withpresenting solutions to solve this problem and performing a cost-benefit analysis for each solution. Solutions fell into three categories; streamlining the mechanical removal, reusing
