students expressed thatindicate their development of understanding JEDI principles: (a) Diversity and Inclusion: Integration of DiversePerspectives; (b) Equity, Justice, and Accessibility; and (c) Community-Centric Approach, although the evidencealso suggests that not all students fluently apply these ideas in a problem-solving context. Overall, the resultssuggest that the 1-credit seminar is effective to build essential literacy of JEDI, which will be instrumental in futurework in sustainability engineering and design.1. IntroductionJustice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) are recognized as core components of educationin sustainability. JEDI are essential principles of the UN Sustainable Development Goals(SDG’s) (United Nations 2015) and

The ratingscale for all six questions is 1-5, with 5 corresponding to the top option (i.e., best performance). Foreach student, we average the ratings of their teammates for the six categories which gives us an overallpeer evaluation rating. Note that a student’s self-ratings are excluded. The result is an overall ratingof 1-5, with a rating of 3 being average. A rating of 3 equates to 85 points or a B on our scale.In addition, the instructors read all the comments to ensure they are professional and appropriate.Comments are edited as necessary. Once this step is complete, the evaluations are released back tothe students

number, modelnumber, manufacture date, etc. Refer to Appendices A.1 and A.2 for representative images.Device Accuracy Assessment. Each student performs a CMS50NA accuracy assessment, usinga Masimo MightySat® fingerclip pulse oximeter as a reference. They acquire at least 25 time-aligned measurement pairs (e.g., index and middle fingers) using the two devices. The studentcaptures images of (a) the devices while worn, with active displays, and (b) a wider view of thetesting area. Using Microsoft Excel, the student determines absolute and relative pulse rates andSpO2 errors for all the data pairs. They then calculate various statistical parameters, including anRMS value for absolute error for the overall data set, consistent with the ISO
