Whilethese results do not indicate that students have integrated other factors into their definition ofsustainability, it does suggest that the course has helped students build a broader understandingof the factors an engineer must consider.

An increase in (a) raw number of itemized factors generated and (b) the number of EOP framework categories referenced, was identified.

Autoethnography allows for critical reflection on the intersection ofpersonal experience and broader cultural phenomena (Ellis et al., 2011), making it well-suited toexplore the tensions between community engagement and research agendas. The themes I present in this work in progress (WIP) emerged from the traces I hadthrough emails, my own memory, and notes I took in conversation with various people includingMr. B, my high school contact.

By embracing this holistic view, we gain a deeper understanding of complex problems and can identify underlying patterns and relationships that might otherwise go unnoticed. B. The Ability to Predict What Happens Next: Complex systems are characterized by nonlinear dynamics, where small changes can lead to disproportionately large effects over time. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for anticipating the consequences of our actions and avoiding unintended outcomes. Systems thinking helps us identify the cause and effect within a system.
