This strategy would fit will into programsattempting to develop EM across the entire curriculum.All engineers need the ability to learn new skills independently and teach these new skills to theircolleagues.

According to a recent study by the American Society forEngineering Education (ASEE), students who take energy conversion courses are more likely tobe interested in pursuing graduate studies in mechanical engineering, as compared to those whodo not take such courses (Liang et al., 2021).To enhance student participation, engagement, and retention in the energy conversion course,novel teaching techniques have been proposed and implemented. These techniques focus oncreating an interactive and collaborative learning environment that enables students to applytheoretical concepts

Bruntland commission’s definition which defines it “as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs.” The concept and practice of sustainability has become very important in engineering profession. We conducted a project to determine and unravel the current state of integration of sustainability in engineering education at the colleges and universities across the nation. We conducted a survey and collected data from universities in US on teaching of the subject of sustainability in their curricula. We asked questions on what topics of sustainability were integrated in those courses. We also researched on identifying several key activities and indicators in this study. This paper

Theconcern rises from the abundance of STEM-related employment, a lack of qualifiedindividuals to fill those positions, and the fact that STEM technologies and productionplay an invaluable role in national and global economies, [4][5]. For the reasons mentioned above, significant funding, time, and resources, havebeen invested in the United States with the intent of sparking STEM interest amongyoung citizens. For example, in STEM outreach, there is a myriad of programs andactivities just within the field of robotics and automation. Examples of these type ofprograms include: FIRST, LEGO Mindstorms, VEX Robotics, MATE, SeaPerch,OpenROV, etc. Robotics is often chosen as a method to teach a broader version of STEM
