The programexemplifies a STEM education approach for engineering outreach through two unique examplesof chemical engineering projects in water desalination and fuel cell applications. The insightobtained from these case studies showcases how high school students' understanding of chemicalengineering can be built upon through immersive programs and projects.

, it istherefore necessary for all SDG-interested parties to adopt an integrated approach and a systems-thinking mindset. Even though the creators of the SDGs recognized the need for understanding their intra-and inter-connections, limited research has been done to qualify and quantify them. For instance,the interest in the development literature since 2011 for understanding the food-energy-water(FEW) nexus (World Economic Forum 2011) requires looking at the interaction between SDGs02, 06, and 07 dealing with food, energy, and water security, respectively (Weitz et al. 2014).SDG 15 must also be included when considering the water-energy-land-food (WELF) nexus(Mohtar 2016).

In academic contexts, engineering educatorsattempt to provide meaningful teamwork experiences for students to prepare them for the profession. Theemphasis on teamwork as a learning outcome has recently increased (ABET, 2012; Patil & Codner,2007), with team projects spanning the entire engineering curriculum from first-year courses to capstonecourses (Froyd, 2005). As a learning outcome, teaming is linked to a wide range of professional skills,including communication, ethics and lifelong learning (Borrego et al., 2013
