The number of devices that are connected tointernet is constantly growing [9]. The IoT sensor costs are rapidly decreasing over time.According to Microsoft’s “2019 Manufacturing Trends”, the average IoT sensor cost hasdecreased from $1.30 in 2004 to $0.38 in 2020 [10]. The IoT links people and things from allaround the world. IoT has many applications, including automobile response, buildingautomation, acute stress, fast health services, and smart

from the constituents being able to elect the first Black president of theUnited States (Tavernise et al., 2019). Though there is reminisce of “the old south” withconfederate flags and pro-Trump apparel, there has been a call to focus on racial and socialissues from the macro level. After the public attention of Governor Northam’s Blackface picturefrom his college years, he was challenged to make public amends and undertake anuncomfortable learning experience where he addressed his wrongful actions, learned more aboutanti-racism by confronting white-male privilege and worked with oppressed communities tomeet their needs (Cole, 2019). As a result of this call to action in supporting the needs of Blackand other underserved communities, there has

evaluate the effectiveness of the inquiry learning strategy outlined above, we conductedPost-Course Surveys and in-depth interviews in 2017, 2018, and 2019. This paper focuses on the 5findings from our surveys. The survey was conducted online through a secure platform providedby the institution (Office of Research Ethics), completed outside the class time. The researchassistant (Racette) made the announcements in class and on the learning management system, andwas the only person with access to the raw data. There was a bonus mark of 1% for completion ofeach survey, and the research assistant (Racette) directly arranged with the course TAs to applythe bonus marks to the final grades. The anonymized

Nevertheless, less impact was foundcompared to the previous year when innovation attitudes were weaker in the pre-survey.IntroductionEducation for innovation is of critical importance in our era (Xiao, 2022; Anderson et al, 2014;Law and Geng, 2019; Barack and Usher, 2019). Innovation will be necessary to meet the GrandChallenges for environmental engineering in the 21st Century identified by the NationalAcademies (NASEM, 2019). There are a variety of definitions for innovation, but at its mostbasic “innovation simply involves the introduction of a new (or significantly improved) productor service in the marketplace or the implementation of a new (or
