.Changes in industry trends are the primary cause for the addition of different areas in the ChemEcurriculum such as the need for large-scale production of commodities chemicals, productdevelopment, pharmaceuticals, and bioengineering [1]. However, there are many hurdles tocompletely invigorate the ChemE curriculum. Some examples may include accreditation, coursecredit limits, maintaining consistency with the rest of the universities, among others. Manyengineering disciplines have addressed these challenges by adding non-traditional learningexperiences such as research experiences, cooperative learning, project-based learning, servicelearning, and experiential learning [2].Conventional wisdom advocates that engineering student’s involvement in

the problem. An analysis of two semesters of exams demonstrated that eighty-six percent of the students exhibited some form of model-based reasoning 16. • Alumna surveys: In a recent survey which yielded a 60% return of graduates from the program, many alluded to the value of this class in terms of their current positions. Many also commented on the need to talk across disciplinary boundaries and that they felt well prepared to do this. One alumna quipped, “I am not afraid of anything anymore.”The course assessment rubric for the course can be found at the end of this paper.Conclusion Classroom activities that challenge old norms and redefine what it means to be a 21st centuryengineer 17 should aspire to

explanation for this is that, on average, faculty spend the most time with53 students, compared with staff, administrators, and advisors. For most courses offered in higher education,54 this time is at least three hours per week; for research mentoring, the faculty contact time can increase55 dramatically [12]. Classroom interactions between students and faculty have a significant potential to56 influence students’ graduation path [13]. Yet, concerning the instruction by faculty, engineering students57 reported that the quality of instruction in engineering was lower than in their non-engineering courses58 [14], [15]. A 2017 study by Gandhi-Lee et al. found that most faculty are unaware of actions that59 positively influence STEM

the recently published results, employers rated the careerreadiness proficiency of new graduates lower, in some cases significantly, when compared tostudents’ self-ratings (NACE (a), 2018). Thus, a skills gap may exist.NACE defines career readiness as “the attainment and demonstration of requisite competenciesthat broadly prepare college graduates for a successful transition into the workplace” (NACE,2017). The aforementioned definition was created in 2015 through a task force including bothcollege and employer representatives. This definition provides a common language surroundingcareer readiness and allows for increased cooperation and collaboration between colleges anduniversities and employers. Additionally, it provides a framework that

author, it is critical to enable students to realize that“a small number of people working together” are not a team unless they have sharedresponsibility for outcomes. Larsen and LaFasto 10 report that there are three major pitfallsresponsible for ineffective team performance: (1) lack of a unified commitment; (2) lack ofexternal support and recognition; and (3) lack of collaboration among team members. Whileanecdotal, the author’s experience is that student teams are frequently ineffective because of alack of a unified commitment and collaboration among team members. Students must come tothe realization, on their own, that they, as team members, must share the responsibility for theoutcomes. As the instructor you must lead a discussion session

the pre-term training program for GTAs, there are regular biweeklymeetings between the entire instruction team and weekly meetings between personnel in a givenclass. These meetings contain a broad array of topics, including studio design and delivery;effectiveness and assessment; and uniform delivery, formatting, and grading. One intention is toalign the design and delivery amongst classes and between classes. In this way, we hope to createa consistent expectation among students in a studio, lowering the cognitive demand that wouldbe used in interpreting different formats and allowing strong student focus. Such alignment alsoallows more coordinated and effective graduate student training. Another intention is to create alearning community
