To accomplish this, we will continue to track a single cohort ofstudents from material balances through the remainder of their career in the chemicalengineering program. We will keep track of student retention, subsequent courses and respectiveinstructors, as well as performance, attitudes, and external experiences such as research orinternships. We also are in the planning stages of a more homogeneous course model for materialbalances. The revised course model will focus on exposing students to problems that engage thefull spectrum of learning styles. As learning styles describe the cognitive processes involved ininformation gathering and problem solving, we believe it is important to teach

This may be caused from intimidation thatthese subjects pose to primary and secondary education students. Educating these students (K-12th grade) on the social and economic benefits of pursuing careers in science and technologythrough fun, unique, and interactive parties is an excellent opportunity and is the focus of thispaper. These science-oriented parties can be used for a plethora of occasions including: birthdayparties, Bar Mitzvahs, lock ins, celebrations, and much more. Typically, educational outreachprograms teach students who are already interested in science and engineering. Theseengineering parties are a surprise and

The author has been fortunate to teach a wide variety of courses in our curriculum – fromthe multidisciplinary freshman engineering design course to the material & energy balancecourse to the junior year transport course to the senior year capstone design course. This hasbeen a great opportunity to help the students make progress with their engineering skills, and towitness their development over their entire college career. Up until capstone design, the studentsusually solve clearly defined technical problems while selecting appropriate mathematicalrelationships. In contrast, design requires the students to use different skills, which rely muchmore on practical knowledge – which is why an effort was made to distribute students

answer towards the idea of a standalone course.Many programs have integrated process safety and ethics within the senior undergraduate levelcourses. However, this can be far too late in the curriculum to make the most impact. There is aneed to introduce process safety principles in the lower level undergraduate courses to exposestudents early in their careers to the importance of process safety and ethics. Challenging thisidea is the fact that programs are required to meet specific outcomes towards ABETaccreditation. As such, finding time in the lower level courses to discuss these concepts is at apremium. Each of these challenges has led to discussions on implementation techniques that areable to reach across all years within Chemical
