The authors, who have more than 15 years of experienceteaching the unit operations laboratory course, seek to improve the engagement of the students inthe future because a lack of interest in performing the experiments by spending less time in thelaboratory but more time focusing on writing the reports. Other methods that are suggested forfuture Unit Operations Laboratories could involve active and collaborative learning (ACL),project/problem-based learning (PBL) and Entrepreneurially Minded Learning (EML) which arepotential alternatives to enhance chemical engineering experiential learning [13, 14].6.

engineering coursework, which often places great focus on workingequations computationally rather than actually understanding the material3,4. Traditionalengineering coursework often leaves students in a position where they can construct and solve aseries of equations to find a requested answer, but they do not understand “why” or even “whatthey just did”5. This is often evidenced on exams when students do not realize a computedanswer is incorrect by multiple orders of magnitude, and poor conceptual understanding such asthis has been observed in young engineers during their work in industry6,7. With this in mind,instruments which can effectively teach and evaluate engineering students’ conceptualunderstanding are key tools for engineering

Certainly developed if you’re continually applying yourself… Kind of approaching your engineering studies with that attitude [of continually applying yourself] and then being goal-driven… You shouldn’t have dreams. You should have goals. It's just very much the sort of logic that I think the engineering world or the engineering profession would appreciate is always having these goals in mind.” –Dan Dan conveys how the engineering degree serves the purpose of demonstrating you're competent.

This study made use of the analysis of interview transcripts from tenchemical engineering students in each of their first two years of undergraduate study to addressthe following research questions: 1. How do first- and second-year chemical engineering students understand their role in their university as an organization? 2. In what

The Society for Manufacturing Engineers named “lack ofcommunication skills” among the top competency gaps in engineering education.7 As shown bythese survey responses, communication skills are important in the engineering industry, yetengineering graduates are not meeting employer communication expectations.
