#42 Publication Spotlight: Maya Menon and Marie Paretti on Instructor motivation for sustainable development

 Although recognised as a priority for engineering education, implementation of Sustainable Development (SD) in curricula has been mixed and limited.  This episode features Marie Paretti from Virginia Tech and Maya Menon from the EdTech startup NextWork. We talk about a paper published in the European Journal of Engineering Education entitled “Understanding instructor decision-making in engineering education for sustainable development: a comparison of institutions in Denmark and the United States” which Maya and Marie co-authored with Jennifer Case and Andrew Katz. The study compared the external, internal (institutional) and individual influences on instructors’ decision-making, in relation to the incorporation of SD into the courses they teach within institutions in two different national contexts. This episode is the second in our series of episodes that take on a new format and are released at intervals along with our normal longer length shows.For the full paper, follow this link: https://doi.org/10.1080/03043797.2025.2486189Timestamps0.00 Welcome and introduction0.29 Introduction to the episode an publication1.25 How the work came about and the research team3.12 Summary of the work4.02 The research gap5.16 The research questions7.27 Terminology; Sustainability, Sustainable Development and the UN SDGs10.50 Theoretical underpinnings13.58 Comparative Case Study Methodology18.04 Data sources and analysis21.12 The findings29:49 Implications for engineering education practice32.31 Implications for engineering education research35.23 GoodbyesJoin us!
