Next, the project will develop a Project Based Learning(PBL) unit to ensure the involvement and motivation of the participants. This PBL unit will include thecontents and skills mentioned above. The PBL unit will include the STEM (Science, Technology,Engineering and Mathematics) approach. Many sources agree that PBL offers the possibility of bringingclassroom activities closer to the students' experiences (both in-person and remote). This activitypromotes the student's changes and the production of

asCATME (Laughry et al., 2007) tend to focus on the situational evidence of teamwork (i.e. how astudent performs in the context of a single teaming experience). However, like all skills, we arguethat teamwork is honed over time, and thus it should be possible (and we argue, necessary) tomeasure quantitatively a student’s teamwork attitudes and skills as a function of their experiencelevel.To date, there are exceedingly few studies (Polly et al., 2018, Farland & Beck, 2019, Wei, Zhou,& Ohland, 2021, Pee & Chue, 2022; to name just a few ), that focus on continuous developmentof teamwork skills, most of which utilize CATME (Laughry et al., 2007) for teamworkassessment.

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
