Through the sustainability expert interviews, we set out to learnabout existing plans and initiatives at the university around sustainability and energy efficiency.Ultimately, our purpose for this landscape mapping was to build a course curriculum with auniversity community that is already very focused on its own energy transition.PositionalityWe approach this project as two junior faculty in the chemical and biomolecular engineeringdepartment.

It begins with a stage of concrete experience,which serves as the foundation for learning, and is then followed by reflective observation, inwhich the learner intentionally reflects on the concrete experience, abstract conceptualization, inwhich they generalize what they have learned, and a planning stage in which they plan for the nextconcrete experience. These steps are

curriculumand department line-up with current and emerging trends.Methodology:For collecting bachelor of science (or engineering) curriculum data, schools’ public 4-year planswere used to find the number of credits for each class and the year in that plan at which they arerecommended to be taken. The credits for each curriculum were scaled such that there were 128total credits for each program, by multiplying each class credit with the ratio (128 / total numberof credits in 4-year curriculum), making an average class roughly 3-4 credits. 128 credits waschosen as the normalizer due to it being the average number of credits in a semesterly 4-yearprogram.

. Teamwork skills areshown at the very top as the most common attribute. However, it is a frequent observation byprofessors that students usually limit the teamwork strategy to an initial distribution of tasks(generally predetermined by the structure of the projects) and occasional meetings to assemblethe contributions in reports or presentations (“divide and conquer” strategy). Experiences withsenior students have proved that they rarely rely on effective planning, revisions, and updates ofa general plan. Team identity is taken for granted as defined exclusively by the expectation ofgetting a good grade. Techniques learned in the short first-year training, like the team contract,are hardly followed. No records of progressive work are taken

Following collective brainstorming, we engaged faculty in acascading agreement multi-voting activity to prioritize which aims they felt were most importantto address as a department [5]. Facilitating this collaborative strategic planning techniqueallowed us to ensure that all faculty had a chance to express their opinions in small groupswithout feeling that any one departmental leader was influencing the activity too heavily.After the cascading agreement activity, we were left with a prioritized list of five aims.
