Without the demographic data from the initialsurvey, it is unknown if these sophomores had ever read an engineering journal article before theone used for this design project.The terribly low response rate may be attributed to several possible factors:  The initial survey was not available when the recruitment flyer was distributed. A technology mistake was made when an available time frame was set for the survey but the students were not allowed to see the research project page, which had been hidden for testing during discussions with the IRB.  It was mentioned in class that the IRB insisted that the surveys be

In an effort to improve the assessment of ABET studentoutcomes in the Process Design and Economics course, as well as to offer modern andengaging senior design projects, students were tasked with proposing their own seniordesign project idea in the Process Design and Economics course for potential use in thePlant Design Project course. This design project proposal assignment required studentsto describe a potential design project idea and assess its potential merits usinginput/output (I/O) economics, safety, and societal assessments.

In attempts to better understand why the science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) fields are experiencing such a loss of able students, many researchers haveturned their focus to the choices, achievement, and interests of students in the fields.

analysis of several additional comics.Background Chemical engineering can be a difficult major for any student, given the complexity of the coreconcepts and frequency with which the subject matter can be highly theoretical. This challenge isparticularly difficult to address as an instructor, given the breadth of fields within chemical engineering,and the resulting range in depth of mastery that each student will need upon graduating. These challengesare similar to those facing current education in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math), inparticular the theoretical nature of some core concepts. Traditional approaches to support instruction,and establish connection between concepts and applications, include providing examples of real

Student engagementwith new technologies does not seems to be a detractor; recent surveys found a majority of currentengineering students, sometimes called digital natives, prefer interactive and/or electronictextbooks [26, 27]. However, many faculty authors of educational materials are not natives of thedigital age, so creation and adoption of interactive materials may be slow.Overall, fully interactive tools are becoming available for core chemical engineering courses, e.g.,material and energy balances zyBook [28]; however, the market size for chemical engineering ismuch smaller than foundational math or science courses (e.g., General Chemistry), so

Second, this experiment covers technology that is directly relevant to many chemicalengineering applications, but is often only covered at a high-level, if at all, in undergraduatecurriculums.
