ofstudents, demand that we don't simply follow but become a leader for innovative approaches andmodels for an equitable, post-carbon, circular economy that supports a human flourishing andecological integrity. There is a need and opportunity to create a coherent program to form newengineering graduates capable of meeting technical engineering requirements woven with thesocial, economic, political, environmental, and other facets central to sustainability and resilience.In response, an interdisciplinary team of researchers proposed the creation of a new SustainableEngineering (SE) Minor at UPRM as part of a larger plan to develop a new Bachelor's degreeprogram in this area. This plan will allow concrete developmental progress while acknowledgingthat

Results and DiscussionThe post-completion survey for the course was completed by 75 out of 112 students across all the classes (Table 4). The highest fraction of completion (100%) was observed for Thermodynamics II (CHEN 3302).In contrast, only 60% of the students completed the survey for Chemical Engineering Laboratory I andIntroduction to Renewable Energy Systems(MENG 4349).

. Even if a design (such as theI-375 project) is efficient in what it does, there are other ramifications to consider when in thedesign process (how will this impact the surrounding communities, black bottom specifically).Three new things I learned from this assignment are how the I-375 project was constructed and allof the negative impacts that came along with it, how the job of an engineer and a designer is a lotmore complex than just making an efficient design, but also considering the consequences andimpacts of that design, and lastly, how to make sure that I am following the design justice principlesin my future engineering endeavors. I will most certainly be approaching design problemsdifferently after this assignment. I will consider the

We expect to repeat this study in Fall 2025 toconfirm these results.ConclusionFewer credits and more specialization within the engineering curriculum has led to knowledgefragmentation. One way of counterbalancing this model is by broadening horizons andpromoting a multidisciplinary approach with a chemical and a mechanical engineeringcollaboration. This preliminary study shows great potential in applying entrepreneurial mindsetas a framework to enhance multidisciplinary collaboration to both students and faculty.

AmongABET accredited programs, name changes are readily apparent [19], with examples in Table 1.ABET viewed these as renaming rather than new program accreditation, which seems to indicatethat little to no curriculum changes accompanied the name change. Exploring the websites forsome of these programs also identified different ways that some of the programs describedthemselves (e.g., accredited degree in ‘engineering’ described as ‘general engineering’); it isunclear if these might be ‘in-progress’ name changes.

comprehensively, the undergraduate engineering curriculum should not only besolidly grounded in the fundamentals of engineering but also aim to instill a commitment tolifelong learning in students [1]. It is essential for students to receive exposure to multiple technicaldisciplines so they can broaden their vision of engineering overall [2]. Typically, schools requirestudents to take engineering elective courses outside their primary engineering major, therebyfostering connections with other engineering domains. Electives present an excellent opportunityfor students to showcase their talents, cultivate new interests, and develop additional abilities [3],[4].
