that, if the same survey is given each semesterto the same group of students over 6 semesters, the familiarity of the survey will alter the results– the students may tend to simply repeat their survey answers without great forethought to thequestions. By conducting the surveys during the first half of each academic year for thesophomores and juniors, students will not be taking back-to-back surveys over three years. Thisshould enable us to evaluate less-biased survey results..References 1. McCarthy, J.J. and Parker, R.

Changesin the self-efficacy scores were evaluated relative to student gender, ethnicity, and ACTcomposite score. These data were obtained with student consent from the office of the Registrar.A total of 17 female and 16 male students were surveyed. Ethnicities were divided into threesub-categories: (1) White (any students with White as their only race, N = 21), (2) Asian (anystudents with Asian or Asian and White listed as their race(s), N = 7), and (3) UnderrepresentedMinorities (URM, any students listed as Hispanic, Native American, Black, or Pacific Islander

surveys of the students who developed the problems, surveys of thestudents who solved the problems in the chemical engineering course, as well as the peer reviewof the problems by biochemical engineering faculty will be presented. This strategy for studentlearning could effectively be utilized with other application areas as a way to incorporate moreinterdisciplinary learning in the undergraduate curriculum.IntroductionSince the late 1990's there has been a drive to integrate more biological applications into theundergraduate chemical engineering (ChE) curriculum. The availability of employmentopportunities in the life sciences has grown steadily for ChE graduates, spurred by the expansionof bioprocessing to include both high margin fine

Utilizing such materials not only reinforces these principles and skills but also providesstudents with a bigger picture of their major & curriculum and connects their earlier courses withthis, one of their last required core courses.It has been suggested in the literature that providing the students with more control over theirproject (e.g., brainstorming the project topic(s) or defining their goals) is a best practice, both togenerate and encourage student motivation and enthusiasm about the project as well as toimprove student perceptions of the course as a whole [8], [9]. Nevertheless, for this single-semester course, it is essential to have clearly defined projects

Third, the examemphasizes the importance of the Level-3 competencies to our students and faculty. Students arekeenly aware that retention of knowledge and skills in the core areas is a requirement forgraduation in addition to simply completing required course work. Faculty awareness of theneed to help students learn fundamental concepts is also heightened.Table 2 shows the 18 Level-3 competencies assessed by the exam.

Enrollment data (Table I)indicate that about 2/3 of Fall quarter freshmen should be enrolled in either Pre-Calculus orCalculus I, and at most 1/20 should be without a Fall math class. On the survey, 1/22respondents stated that (s)he did not take math in Fall, which is consistent with enrollment data.An additional 3/22 students did not identify a math instructor; two of those answered noquestions beyond those about the EFLC, suggesting that they simply stopped participating in thesurvey.
