and Sustainable AviationAbstractThe aim of this study was to process large data sets obtained from NASA and to estimate theemissions for traditional jet fuel through calculating the path lengths of aircrafts. Computationalanalyses were performed, in collaboration with NASA and Universities Space ResearchAssociation, as part of a summer research program for undergraduate students. A program usingPython was developed to process the NASA Sherlock data to obtain aircraft details and flightpaths. Altitude independent emissions were then estimated for traditional jet fuel. The paper alsodescribes future research plans for altitude dependent emissions, implementation of an approachfor sustainable aviation fuels, and high performance computing

- are requiring a graduate that possesses a widerrange of skills than those of the previous graduates of engineering programs. One of the majoroutcomes of our study of today’s employer requirements was identification of the need for amore well-rounded engineer who understands and appreciates the knowledge and skill areasrequired of other engineering disciplines outside his/her own specialty. This requirement of thenew curriculum was met by structuring a core engineering program that extends across all fouryears with discipline specific courses relegated solely to the junior and senior year. This CoreProgram that we will describe in detail is the heart of our revitalized curriculum.II. Why We Changed: CatalystsAs noted above, Mercer University

At the same time, active learning and notions of learner agency, informed bytheir lived experiences, are shaping classroom pedagogy. At our university, we conducted a pilot study ina graduate level engineering course: Fundamentals of Renewable Energy Processes and ElectrochemicalStorage, which involved introducing collaborative and individual case-based writing as the finalassignment instead of a traditional term-paper. We analyzed the deliverables and conducted interviewswith a sample of the learners from the class to explore how the shift impacted student learning onsustainability. More specifically, we asked: 1
