used to teach key chemistryconcepts to undergraduate students in the chemistry discipline at an Historically Black University (HBCU).To assess whether ECP achieves a lasting increase in undergraduate student curiosity and engagement in thechemistry discipline, ECP was implemented from Fall 2021 to Fall 2022 using an inexpensive, safe, andportable electronic instrumentation system usable in both classrooms and laboratories. The MotivatedStrategies for Learning Questionnaire developed by Pintrich, Smith, García, and McKeachie in 1991 was usedto measure the key constructs associated with students’ curiosity and engagement. The classroom observationprotocol (COPUS) was used to assess instructors’ effectiveness, and signature assignments were used

The workshopwas presented at the 2022 ASEE/AIChE Summer School for Engineering Faculty. The purposeof this paper is to disseminate the workshop resources, providing educators with a suite ofinteractive templates focused on chemical engineering-related case studies and with training tocreate and adapt their own related materials.

intentionally broad;chemical engineers work in a variety of industries and therefore learn in the context ofequipment rather than product. We believe that student work has typically been limited by lackof understanding of the potential applications of various unit operations to specific and importantprocesses. To address this, we wanted to include a contextual problem in the course that wasmeaningful to the students and had a specific technical solution it was investigating. We alsowanted to add design and prototype training to the curriculum and to add inquiry-basedinstruction to one of the rotating experiments.Curricular ChangesThe primary curricular change in the fall of 2022 was a redesign of the traditional flooding pointexperiment to an inquiry

BACKGROUND 2.1 Engineering and STEM OutreachAs a consequence of the decreased undergraduate enrollment, the downward trend in ChEgraduations has been forecasted to reach a very low point in the United States within the nextfour years[1]. This trend has also been observed outside the United States; Spain experienced anapproximately 5% decrease in undergraduate ChE enrollment between 2018 and 2022 as a resultof demographic factors and changes in economic conditions[6]. Since these trends arewidespread, it is imperative that institutions strengthen outreach efforts to advertise theprofession among K-12 students better while retaining college students

The coaches helped to generate mockdata, to replace the in-person data the students would normally get, and uploaded the data to acloud storage device. This was put in place so it was like the students had generated the datathemselves and could proceed with analysis and interpretation. The coaches also served assupport staff during the virtual oral presentations on Zoom in case issues arose with the primaryand secondary instructors.

of Kentucky, Lexington, KentuckyABSTRACTThe chemical engineering field is constantly evolving to encompass new ideas such as geneticengineering and synthetic biology, green chemistry and sustainable materials, and engineeringeducation. This evolution has been seen throughout the undergraduate curriculum with thedevelopment of new courses or certificate programs, as reported in the literature. The progressreported in the undergraduate programs has influenced us to investigate if there are any similarshifts in graduate program curricula. In this work, we studied the 2021-2022 chemicalengineering Ph.D. curriculum at 100 US universities to gain insights into the courses thatstudents take, as well as other degree requirements to obtain a terminal
