Why or why not? (b)Were there any parts of their rationale that you thought were particularly

The ability to connect ideas across disciplines and apply abstractknowledge to real problems and scenarios—as one does when teaching others—is a necessityfor the development of a strong professional identity [7]. Consequently, it is the integration of knowledge transformation (teaching) into graduateSTEM education to support the creation of a strong professional identity that led us to create theGraduate Identity Formation through Teaching (GIFT) project.

In 2010, ICAO adopted two goals: “tocontinuously improve CO2 efficiency by an average of 1.5 per cent per annum from 2009 until2020, to achieve carbon neutral growth from 2020 and to reduce its carbon emissions by 50 percent by 2050 compared to 2005 level” [2], [3]. To fulfill the ICAO projection, there are fourmain strategies: aircraft technological developments, optimization of aircraft operation plan,adopting sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and market-based measures to promote aviationsustainability growth [2].Fuel consumption is directly related to carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) impact on theenvironment in terms of Global Warming Factor.
