senior design projects in the Plant Design Projectcourse.After the completion of the assignment, students were voluntarily surveyed to gauge theirperception of the effectiveness of the assignment as a measurement of their ability todevelop a preliminary design idea. They were also surveyed to measure their perceptionof how strongly the ABET outcomes for the course mapped to this assignment. Studentperformance on the assignment was assessed on the basis of the students ability to 1)communicate in writing effectively, 2) design a preliminary process to meet a societalneed within realistic constraints, 3) understand ethical responsibilities and potentialsafety issues, 4) understand the impact of the proposed design project in a global,environmental

characterization and nanomaterials synthesis. His research group has pioneered the development of electron microscopy tools for the study of catalysts. American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021Organizational Citizenship Behavior and Care in Chemical EngineeringAbstractResearch suggests that the ethic of care is a key ingredient to learner-centered teaching and cansupport diverse student success [1]. Faculty may feel they show care through rigor, by holding ahigh standard and providing critical feedback to prepare students for harsh work environments.Students, especially from groups underrepresented in engineering, may interpret this stance asinformation indicating that they do

engineering in 46 episodes of approximately 10 minuteseach. Over the course of the series, the origin of each branch of engineering was discussed,followed by discussion of core concepts of conservation, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, heatand mass transfer, materials, statics, safety and ethics. 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. The authors of this paper were part of the collaboration in the development and

problems. Professional competence has been previouslydefined as a high level of motivation, use of intelligence to solve problems and make decisions,teamwork, management and leadership of others, communication, planning and management of aproject and resources, innovation, and a strategic view of the larger picture of the project2,3. Thesecompetences, along with strong technical knowledge skill set, have been linked to futureprofessional engineering success3,4. Additionally, ABET requires that graduating engineers meetthe following select criteria: (d) ability to function on multidisciplinary teams; (f) understandingof professional and ethical responsibility; (g) ability to communicate effectively; and (h) the broadeducation necessary to

each of the eight recommendationsfrom SAChE, the following ideas are provided on how to integrate into existing courses: Page 26.1729.6 The importance of process safetyThe general importance of process safety should be introduced in the first dedicated chemicalengineering class. Similar to the principles used in industry, process safety must be considered avalue and therefore introduced early and reinforced frequently. An excellent way to begin thediscussion is with the AIChE Code of Ethics, which states that, “Members shall: Hold paramountthe safety, health and welfare of the public and protect the environment in performance of

Chemical Engineering within the School of Engi- neering & Technology, Dr. Dua worked as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Hampden-Sydney College, where he taught and supervised undergraduates on clinically translated re- search projects. He has been an active leader in promoting STEM fields and has chaired several scientific and ethics sessions at national conferences. His current research focuses on improving or finding solutions for the musculoskeletal system disorders that still exist clinically through biomimetics, chemical, and tis- sue engineering approaches. Dr. Dua’s research has been funded by several organizations, including the National Science Foundation (NSF

interests include effective teaching, conceptual and inductive learning, integrating writing and speaking into the curriculum and professional ethics. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Why Not Ask Students to Explain Themselves? Enhancing Conceptual Testing with Technical Writing1. IntroductionRecently a great deal of exciting work has been performed on concept-based instruction inchemical engineering, in particular the efforts associated with the AIChE Concept Warehouse(AIChE-CW)1,2. The AIChE-CW provides chemical engineering educators with instruments forevaluating students’ conceptual understanding of course material. Conceptual learning is notwell-served by traditional

Figure 5 - average or “overall” engineering identity [15, Figs. 2, 5]. The authors reference the engineering identity as an ‘average’ in place of “overall” engineering identity. Instrument and interview (Kate & Dan) convergences: From the interviews, we found some student-reported experiences aligned with what was reported in the literature. Both participants identify an engineer as having a hard work ethic. This hard- working identity is reinforced by the high score of performance/competence on the engineering identity instrument. As reported by Godwin and Lee [15], a high score for this measure indicates having strong performance/competence beliefs or the self-beliefs to perform well and understand concepts in

. The new space, MIL, is openly branded as a “Safe Space”(by use of AIChE & ASEE branded Safe Zone signs). To warrant such a claim, the MIL issupervised by faculty with extensive diversity and inclusion training, who has had years ofexperience addressing related issues, should they ever arise. Additionally, inclusion training andconflict resolution is part of the curriculum of the courses taught in MIL, as well as theprerequisites to these courses. Each course in this space is also guided by a class diversity andinclusion statement, in which it is made clear to the students on the first day that inclusion is akey part of professional engineering ethics and is expected in our classrooms and laboratories.Furthermore, care is taken to signal

deficits. We additionally askedthem to explain what interests and experiences drove them to become an engineer.In the following class session, they conducted a team gap analysis, placing a tick mark for eachperson who had each specific professional skill (additional areas focused on lifelong learning,ethics, problem solving, and technical competence). Students self-assessed whether theypossessed each skill, making this a binary choice (present/absent) for each member. For ourpurposes in this paper, we narrow our scope to the areas below, which were well covered by sub-topics:Professional Communications Skills Technical writing (technical summaries, technical descriptions, reports) Professional writing (emails, memos) Oral communication

given anorientation to university-related services, including important university locations as well aslibrary services and citation indexes. Students also participated in weekly technical activities andsessions that provided training and information on a broad range of topic areas related toconducting and engaging in research. Examples include a session on ethics in scientific research,training on effective oral and written communication and presentation of research and scientificfindings, and a panel discussion focused on careers in research 12. Students were also providedwith the opportunities to tour various laboratories and research centers at Penn State (e.g.,Materials Characterization Laboratory; Microscopy and Cytometry Facility
