[2] [3] [4]. It iscritical to lead this effort by showing the next generation of engineers how they can affect ourresources.This is best done through offering students real-world, inquiry-based problems which give themtransferrable and practical skills and are shown to increase learning [1] [5] [6]. Through energyaudits, which are very much hands-on and well within the technical reach of undergraduates, wecan teach students about sustainability and ways to reduce energy, an inspiring and fulfilling taskwhen considering our nation’s energy usage and the need to educate these young minds towardsbecoming stewards of the environment [7]. Energy audits are inquiry-based learning exerciseswith real-life problems which increase learning. This

Students develop their technical
accomplished bydelivering course lecture content to students outside of the classroom, freeing up in-class time forhands-on activities [1]. This concept has experienced a rise in popularity in recent years due tothe availability of widely disseminated video lecture content and proven benefits to studentengagement in the classroom [2]. Because lecture content is moved outside of the classroom, in-class time is typically devoted to problem solving sessions and more active learning approaches.It has been shown in the literature that the primary benefits of this method come not from anincrease in effectiveness of out-of-class lectures, but from the increase in time devoted to hands-on practice, active learning [3], and instructor-guided practice [4].

town. The 3-hour coursesessions were typically facilitated by one or two faculty members, depending on the topic, whilethe seminars functioned more as a collaborative discussion across faculty and students.Two factors related to physical space and course dynamics are also worth noting here. First, onefaculty member works at one of the university’s satellite centers and thus participated in allcourse sessions remotely. Second, while the 1-credit seminar occurred in a room with allparticipants gathered around a long table to facilitate discussion, the 3-credit course was set upwith tables in a U-shape to create dialogue among the students; however, the room was not largeenough for both the faculty and the students to literally sit at the table
