environment?MethodsThis section will contain an overview of our study design, a description of the interventionContents Under Pressure (CUP), and discuss the data analysis performed.Study DesignThis study consisted of a semester long pre-/post- research design involving the use of CUP as anintervention. A total of 187 senior chemical engineering students, enrolled in either a seniordesign or process safety course from three different institutions, participated in the study. Inorder to understand how senior chemical engineering students prioritize criteria relevant toprocess safety decisions, they were asked to complete a pre-reflection where they sequentiallyranked the criteria (budget, personal relationships, plant productivity, safety, and time

ways, if any, do student understandings change between their first and second years?Broader Project BackgroundThis analysis used an existing data set generated as part of a larger project that encompasses sixuniversities across three countries. Member institutions are equally distributed, two each fromthe United States, United Kingdom, and South Africa. The research team for this project includesfaculty and graduate students from all three countries, with direct representation from five of thesix included institutions. The objective of the project is to capture various aspects of the studentexperience over the course of a student’s undergraduate career and is thus a longitudinalundertaking beginning in the first year and ending with the

American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) emphasizes ethical practice of theirmembers by stating in the AIChE Code of Ethics that members shall “hold paramount the safety,health, and welfare of the public and protect the environment in performance of their professionalduties” [1]. This is similar to other professional engineering societies including the NationalSociety of Professional Engineers. Aligned with such codes of ethics of various professionalsocieties and broader societal needs, ABET has included “an ability to recognize ethical andprofessional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments” [2] as arequired student outcome for engineering programs. However, while there have been continuingendeavors to

lab studying solar energy.Learner-centered altruism sometimes means helping students with problems outside the course,such as finding an internship and preparing application materials. One faculty member took apoll of seniors and discovering their concern about the future (both entering graduate school andindustry) chose to implement a series of workshops in their course rather than overburdeningstudents with content. This faculty member implemented workshops designed to bring outsidespeakers with advice and knowledge the students felt as though they lacked (determined throughthe survey). Workshops allowed students to ask questions and gain advice from experts in areassuch as graduate admissions, industry hiring practices, and startup
