)). Intended Audience and Size: To facilitate interaction, each of the four organizers will coach between two and four teams of three individuals (i.e., one student/postdoc, one junior/mid-career faculty, and one senior faculty/administrator). This yields a lower bound 24 participants and an upper bound of 48 participants (i.e., 1/3 each of student/postdoc, junior/mid-career, and senior/administrators). Workshop Organizers: 1.

: funding; funding, even on a small scale atfirst, can support faculty in making curricular change, and as I describe below, can help supportstudents in accessing experiences that will significantly impact their career options and skillsets.As a student at a wealthier institution, undergraduate research was readily available andwell-funded. I worked in an environmental chemistry lab within an NSF-funded center focusedon sustainable nanotechnology throughout all four years and completed a senior thesis. I waspaid or received class credit, which allowed me to dedicate more time and learn more aboutsustainable and green chemistry. Not all students are this lucky, and as a graduate student, I haveopenly talked about funding or credit options at my
introduces globalization and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) [14]. Thegoal of this module is to help students recognize the implications their design decisions mayhave outside of their immediate community and identify ways their careers as designers couldinclude work toward addressing some of the SDGs.The lesson plan for this module first introduces the concept of globalization, including bothpositive aspects like economic growth and cultural exchange and negative aspects likeoverconsumption and exploitation. The UN SDGs are then presented as an international effort toalign countries and major organizations toward positive globalization outcomes. After a briefhistory of the development of the SDGs, students are encouraged to evaluate the

She received her B.S. and M.S. in Food Science from Cornell University and her Ph.D. in Food Process Engineering from the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering at Purdue University. She was an inaugural faculty member of the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University. She is currently a Professor in Biological Systems Engineering at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Her role in the College of Engineering at UNL is to lead the disciplinary-based education research initiative, establishing a cadre of engineering education research faculty in the engineering departments and creating a graduate program. Her research focuses
timeline that reflects theresearcher’s tenure at the university. At this level, faculty members can tailor meaningful projectsfor researchers over a set period. The last and broadest level of participation is short-termengagement through undergraduate and graduate courses. For short-term engagement, studentsparticipate in community-based class projects for one semester or can take elective courses thatoffer community-based research. With short-term engagement, students apply concepts ofcommunity-based research. This participatory approach serves as an opportunity for students toconduct research and advance into mid-term engagement opportunities (Figure 1). These levels ofengagement provide a more diverse audience that is engaged in community-based

With a missiondedicated to support students in an individualized learning experience, RHIT strives to be aglobal leader of engineering and science education. In line with its vision, the institution aims toproduce graduates who are not only inspired and prepared for success but also equipped toaddress the complex challenges facing our global society. We have comprehensively exploredRHIT's sustainability
equal balancefor Introversion and Extroversion, which is perhaps surprising from engineers who often arestereotyped as “shy” or “introverted”. The results for how students “gather information”indicates a near equal balance for Intuition and Sensing, and similarly the results for howstudents “make decisions” indicates a near equal balance for Thinking and Feeling. As reportedin Table 2, the most significant difference for Jung Personality Type was observed in a strongpreference for Judging over Perceiving (i.e., a total of 50 individuals versus 24). A similar trendhas been regularly reported in courses in this Department (i.e., [8, 9, 10]). Therefore, based uponthe trends in Jung Personality Type, the use of clear “lists of instructions” was an
