connecting representations. Students also tend to focus on thesurface features instead of the underlying scientific principles.In chemical engineering, students are introduced to block flow diagrams (BFDs), a new type ofpictorial representation of a chemical process, early in the curriculum. For example, in thesophomore-level material and energy balances, often an initial exercise is to convert a wordproblem into a simple block flow diagram. The block flow diagram consists of a series of blocksrepresenting different equipment or unit operations that are connected by input and outputstreams. Important information such as operating temperatures, pressures, and flow rates areincluded in the diagram. However, the diagram does not include any details of

. There is a needto bridge this knowledge gap in order to position each accepted student to succeed in graduatestudies.Since 2018 the department has offered a self-paced online course sequence consisting of twocourses, three credit hours each which are typically taken Fall/Spring or Spring/Summer, forstudents with a BS degree in a non-CHE science or engineering field. This two-course sequenceserves as a “bridging course” and teaches the core concepts in chemical engineering to students,covering material including material and energy balances, thermodynamics, transportphenomena, and reactor design. The course content, organization and continuous improvementhave been previously presented and documented [1-5].Now that the two-course sequence has

Environmentally-oriented coursework often employs examples within the natural world’s subsystems (i.e., theatmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere) to demonstrate principles of masstransport, material and energy balances, and chemical kinetic phenomena. Notably, climate andatmospheric systems have provided a consistently topical and well-documented source ofinformation from which inspiration for
group. Conversely, in upper level courses, wherestudents are more likely to have committed to engineering pathways and have developed effectivecoursework strategies, we see no significant relationship between changes in EI measures and receipt ofpersonalized feedback. This stands in contrast to students in the control group, who in the introductoryChemical Engineering course, had uniformly higher positive EI beliefs by the end of the term. It may bethat students who receive personalized feedback earlier, exit their early courses with higher levels of EI. Table 1.
