Students in the class were first presented with a consent form approved by theuniversity’s Research Ethics Board explaining the study. All students in the course were asked tocomplete concept maps and these were marked only for completion. Concept map data fromstudents not opting in to the study was not used for further analysis

This course was theonly chemical engineering course the students took during the freshman year. While teaching the first semester sophomore Material and Energy Balance course between2009 and 2012, students often remarked that the freshman class was boring and that they still didnot understand what chemical engineers did. Based on this feedback

Professional competence has been previouslydefined as a high level of motivation, use of intelligence to solve problems and make decisions,teamwork, management and leadership of others, communication, planning and management of aproject and resources, innovation, and a strategic view of the larger picture of the project2,3. Thesecompetences, along with strong technical knowledge skill set, have been linked to futureprofessional engineering success3,4.

comparison. We can make a few preliminary observations. First, the “Future”includes much more material in the systems category than we are suggesting here. For example,“Future” includes general modeling based on material and energy balances and many topics thatwe consider professional skills, e.g., ethics, globalization, intellectual property and so forth.While these topics are important, their link to PSE are tenuous; as a result, the systems topiccould be diluted into an “everything else” category that would not represent its centralimportance. Second, the “Future” proposes coverage of molecular level and multiscale topicsthat require further definition. We will observe the warning that “God (or the devil) is in thedetails”, and therefore, we

This student is information rich, technologysavvy, and must be trained to address the consequences of globalization. Thus, the education wereceived as students may not be the best way to approach this group. To this end, we haveperformed research on engineering ethics, the use of social networking, and video learning in aneffort to address the new skill set and resources available to our students

Goal 3 - Develop students who gain a perspective on the role of engineering in a global society including the importance of ethics, professional responsibility, diversity and culture, lifelong learning, safety, sustainability and the environment. Goal 4 - Develop students who communicate their ideas effectively in various formats to both technical and non-technical audiences.There are 15 objectives related to these goals, as summarized in Appendix A. In mostcases, there is a straightforward, one-to-one mapping between the program’s objectives(e.g., graduates will be able to do X) and measurable outcomes (e.g., students willdemonstrate during the
