introduce students to the career while ensuringthat they have the necessary background skills (unit conversions, graphing, etc.). ChE 1013 is athree-hour course taught in the spring semester. The students learn to program with Excel andVBA and use these skills in a design project and competition. The design project varies fromyear to year but always involves students designing and running their own experiments to controla chemical reaction for a defined purpose. This is potentially chaotic, but small class sizesenable the professor to manage this in a safe and beneficial manner. In 2008, the enrollment inChE 1013 exceeded the available space in the largest computer classroom and the instructor’sability to safely manage the design project and

It can also be seen that game-based activities cooperative in naturecan also appeal to males; therefore, cooperative activities are able to engage both genders.Engaging both genders is an important task to accomplish in regards to communication becauseit is important to discover a way to teach both genders effective communication skills for theyare important in future careers.13 The goal of these game-based

The "client" for the project was represented by the multidisciplinary research team (including views from an agricultural economist, a systems engineer, the director of a renewable energy outreach effort for farming coops, and a policy analyst). Such multidisciplinary input from the "clients" tended to inhibit the student teams' independent search for multidisciplinary information on their own, but it tended to sharpen their action and

The series then described applications ofthe different engineering fields, including robotics, genetic engineering, and signal processing, aswell as specific extensions of core engineering fields, such as transportation and geotechnicalengineering. The series concluded with an explanation of engineering design, careers inengineering, and the future problems to be solved.

Ultimately the most successful argument was that avoiding “closecontact” with others would prevent students from getting stuck in quarantine if someone else inlab later tested positive.5.2 MasksInitially, an open box or stack of procedure masks was provided at the PPE table

There is often a disconnect between what the studentswrite and the actual meaning of their project results. Rarely do students attempt to begin with thefundamental observations and draw conclusions, supporting their ideas in a logical progression.The observations in this work indicate that this practice is not reserved for final reports, wherespace may be limited, but a common practice. Perhaps by coaching students earlier in theirstudent career, giving them ample opportunities to practice, receive feedback, revise their work,one would hope to see succinct cogent technical response to these types
