PRACTICAL INTEGRATION OF SUSTAINABILITY INTO ENGINEERING
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The broad terminology around sustainability is an excellent catalyst for discussing the technical and social impacts of projects in an engineering classroom and for improving decisions made in team-based designprojects. When an exploratory hands-on methodology is applied, the introduction of the various aspects associated with sustainability allows instructors to engage students to SEE (identify) Social, Economic, and Environmental impacts and quantify the relevancy of generic criteria to specific projects. The P5TM Impact Analysis tool (GPM Global) was used to identify relevant criteria for ranking design projects. Whereas the methodology is reproducible, the decisions made by students can vary when there is no clear answer. With a range in results, the instructors can then have the students perform additional analyses to reflect on the complexity of ranking alternatives and to view the results based on various circumstances. The outcome is that the students gain a broader understanding of how SEEing different perspectives matters and addsvalue to the decision making process.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
