personalized learningmodel (PLM) for graduate education within the Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering. Thismodel aims to transform and modernize graduate STEM education through a personalized, inclusive, andstudent-centered approach, which will, in turn, advance existing knowledge on the relationship betweenpersonalized learning and student outcomes.The principles of personalized learning guide the PLM. It is comprised of five components. The first threecomponents provide an intentional approach to learning: Instructional Goals developed for each studentbased on a learner profile and individual development plans (IDP), a purposeful Task Environment thatbreaks the traditional three-credit coursework into modules and co-curricular
