Education Innovations

Description:

This session invites educators to share their experiences and insights on advancing environmental engineering and science education through integration of emerging technologies and experiential learning. As technology continues to rapidly evolve, cutting-edge tools such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and other digital innovations present unique opportunities for creating unprecedented learning experiences. Experiential learning also provides a unique opportunity for students to actively engage with new technologies and community stakeholders. Through presentations and Q&As, this session aims to showcase diverse approaches and discuss successful implementations, challenges encountered, lessons learned, and opportunities to be captured. Additionally, this session will also provide a platform for networking and collaboration among educators committed to innovating and pioneering the future of environmental engineering and science education
