departments,but solutions particular to chemical engineering departments require additional examination.We have been teaching a chemical engineering design laboratory, primarily directed towards ourfirst year students, over the past six years at the University of Utah. This course was initiallytaught in a lecture hall and a series of satellite labs, centered around the space used for a unitoperations courses. Due to the first-year course’s success in achieving learning outcomes and itspositive reception by students, we have been able to design and build a combined laboratory,instructional, and maker space specifically meant to facilitate early- and mid-curriculum hands-on project-based learning. For the past three years this first-year course, and

kinds of organizational changes are needed at the institutional level to betterincorporate students both into their university and the organizational change process, students’perceptions of their own position and role must be known and understood. The purpose of thisqualitative investigation is to investigate how first- and second-year engineering students at alarge public Mid-Atlantic university describe their position and role within their university andprogram. Data for this study are drawn from semi-structured interviews conducted with tenstudents in Chemical Engineering. This selection of students from each of the first two years oftheir undergraduate careers provides a means for comparing how students’ views vary as theygather more
