expired.V.b) SustainabilityThis project presents a different focus as compared with many of the industry-academiacollaborations. Many of the industry-academia collaborations occurred in the form ofco-ops 13. The reader may notice that the students did not work at any time for PNM andwere not exposed to industry interactions. However, through the partnership, the facultyand students got access to state-of-the-art data that became the foundation for severalresearch opportunities and curriculum development. This is very important because thecurriculum can be reused for several more years beyond the end date of the servicecontract. In general, the literature does not include many examples of industry-academypartnerships with an emphasis on curriculum

to preparing students to face the unique challenges of a constantly evolving sector. To achieve this, the curriculum should include activities and teaching approaches that inspire students to think beyond traditional solutions and encourage exploration and experimentation. This can be through design and construction projects inviting students to apply theoretical knowledge in practical scenarios, challenging them to innovate in sustainability and energy efficiency, and integrating emerging technologies like AI. Additionally, courses should encourage students to question conventional methods and seek new ways to solve complex problems. On the other hand, incorporating workshops, hackathons, and design competitions where

Yet, climatechange and food production are intractably linked and co-dependent. Finally, the use of AI inagriculture is a highly interdisciplinary topic that provides students with learning [9]. Teaching about ethics can be a complex topic, especially when students need to gain priortraining in the field beyond optional electives.

For many of them, this class has been a transformative experience wherethey have learned about the nature of innovation and recognized the important knowledge, skillsand character development involved. Through their explorations they have learned thatinnovation is not easily defined. Innovation goes beyond the creative generation of ideas. Whilecreativity is an asset, ideas, even “good ideas” are not enough. And what makes an idea good?Certainly good ideas provide benefit, but innovation must also consider the expenditure ofresources to implement them so that they provide value. Moreover, these good

Understanding business practices, creating an effective onlinepersona, and securing a solid financial future, for example, are competencies learned, at best,only through the motivation of an individual. At worst, students acquire such insight too late,after their careers are well underway.A key problem is that most students do not know where gaps in their knowledge exist. Especiallyin larger programs, the availability of mentors who can fill these knowledge gaps is limited.Furthermore, gaining a comprehensive understanding of such “life skills” requires time andeffort; unsurprisingly, the time required for mastering technical content assumes a morepermanent fixture in a

Our intent here is tostrategize how to deliberately construct advertisements that are inclusive and welcoming andmove beyond boilerplate affirmative action statements. To do so, we provide colleagues with aselection of past job advertisements from UMBC, sometimes from other institutions, and askthem to assess their strengths and weaknesses. We also provide a list of inclusive languagemodels we have collected from other institutions. Through this activity, we reframe the jobadvertisement as an invitation to potential applicants who may not be familiar with UMBC.Together, we consider alternative and new approaches to describing the criteria for the
