How weteach or train students to develop their engineering skills, becomes an essential tool to nurturesustainability in their future practice, which was recognized as a pressing issue for educators [1]-[3]. Promoting sustainability as part of everyday practice could establish the missing link toenhance environmental attitudes of engineering students [4], [5].Many empirical studies reported that environmental education, either as a semester course or as asummer program, not only improves knowledge and awareness of environmental

Rather than replace humans, most AI systems will collaborate with humans to achieve optimal performance.

We expect AI technologies to behave according to the formal and informal norms to which we hold our fellow humans.
