. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Setting Student Safety Knowledge to PracticeAbstractIn a senior-year unit operations laboratory, students study the fundamental principles andpractical applications of Chemical Engineering through hands-on experiences. The injection ofsafety issues at multiple formative and summative evaluation points has been established topromote meaningful hands-on experiences with safety topics and is presented as a teachingtechnique for others to leverage. This paper describes how resources from the Chemical SafetyBoard (CSB), the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AICHE) and the University’sEH&S program are interwoven into classroom discussions at the onset of the semester

The learning objectives for thisexperiment are listed in Table 1, and the assessment questions are listed in Table 2.While this experiment may not be applicable to the traditional unit operations course,material characterization is an important concept for chemical engineers. Anunderstanding of stress and strain may also help students understand viscometeroperation as well.  Figure 1. Apparatus used for testing mechanical properties.

Ratings of “Good” or higher, as evidenced by mean and mode responses, were obtained forthe following REU elements: working relationship with research mentor(s) (M = 3.17; Mo = 4);working relationship with research group members (M = 3.75; Mo = 4); the amount of time spentwith research mentor(s) (M = 2.83; Mo = 4); the advice given about careers and graduate school(M = 3.45; Mo = 3); and the research experience overall (M = 3.25; Mo = 3). The REU elementof the amount of time spent doing meaningful research received a “Fair” rating overall (M =2.83; Mo = 2), suggesting an important area of improvement for the research program.Table 5

because when an engineer frames a problem, s/he gainsownership of the problem; having such ownership affirms her/his identity as an engineer. Thus,we sought to connect student assets to problem framing as a means to support a growth mindsetwherein diverse students view themselves as already having the capabilities to participate in thedesign process.Next stepsThere have been calls for more research specifically looking at how, when and why certaingroups—including Hispanics and Native Americans—initially choose and then persist inengineering.8 This research begins to address this call. Simply identifying engineering assets andnot acting on them will do little to change student persistence. This study represents a first step ina longer research
