Results indicatedinvolvement in presentations and publications as well as moderate to high ratings of core REUexperiences.A key finding from the study is the clarifying role the REU program played in facilitatingstudents’ graduate school plans; results support REU programs as a refining experience ratherthan a prompting experience for graduate school outcomes. Qualitative analysis of studentinterview data revealed a perceived significant benefit of working collaboratively with otherstudents while engaged in the research experience and an increased and improved understandingof the nature of research. Qualitative analysis of faculty mentor interview data corroborated theperceived benefits of student pairing

Write the discrete logic to start and stop and pump, and turn the level controller from AUTO to MANUAL, such that the receiver’s level will be controlled effectively without dead- heading the pump through startup, normal operation, and shutdown.The important lesson for chemical engineers to learn is to plan through a scenario like that bymapping out all of the possible states (thermodynamic + equipment), deciding what the systemshould do in each state, and then writing a series of logical rules to carry out that logic. Astudent who can solve that problem will also have a new appreciation for the operation ofreceivers, pumps, and level control

A&M University conducted processsafety related surveys of ABET accredited Chemical Engineering Programs in 2006 and 2012.7,8The survey focus was to determine the number of programs offering either a core or electiveprocess safety courses or those planning to develop such courses. Surprisingly, in 2012 onlyabout 50% of the respondents (32% of all programs) offered a core or elective course in processsafety. An additional 16 % of responding institutions indicated that they planned to developeither a core or elective course in process safety. Results from a more recent survey werepresented at the AIChE 2014 Annual Meeting.9 About one third of responding ChemicalEngineering programs indicated that they have a process safety course while

wherestudents share answers and aimed to create assignments and exams less susceptible to plagiarism.When faculty took a learner-centered approach to conscientiousness, they put in time and/oreffort to learn about their students’ interests, experiences, and lives; they used this information inplanning course activities and examples. For example, several faculty hired peer learningfacilitators—students who had just completed the course. Rather than simply asking thesestudents to grade, they sought their ideas in planning the course, situating the students as part ofthe instructional team. Such faculty also updated their course materials, but they put effort intoresearching authentic applications of course content and checking with peer learning

Dan’s internalized yearly failures - the first 2 years of co-op/intern rejections as his lack of soft skills (being personable) and the third year as bad luck because of COVID—are from poor planning that should have been more career-oriented.

we planned to prepare the students for the jigsaw session, but dueto scheduling conflicts, we held the jigsaw in the recitation period directly following an exam.To avoid burdening students already anxious about an exam with the need to additionally preparefor this activity, we decided not to announce the session prior to class. Students were tasked withexplaining their subteam’s work to students from other production phases. We asked them toshare the following in their jigsaw groups: • Update of important findings • What was important to know for your particular phase? • Why was it important for your design?At the end of the jigsaw session, we elicited anonymous feedback, asking the students to writewhat they’d like to see

In fact, the new ABET student outcomes, effective in2019-2020, have a stronger emphasis on team efforts: “An ability to function effectively as amember or leader of a team that establishes goals, plans tasks, meets deadlines, and creates acollaborative and inclusive environment” (SO “3”)[6]. All these outcomes can be assessedthrough the Unit Operations Laboratory; however, the main challenge is to implement practicaltools for a team, either assigned or self-selected, to function properly throughout the semester.For instance

Order and structure are important to these learners, who tend to be logical, objective, andperfectionists. They want clear objectives and expectations at the beginning of a course and inadvance of activities, such as in an explicit and detailed syllabus. Problem Solvers are criticalthinkers who like to explore multiple alternatives. For them, the process is important, so theyneed flexibility in completing learning activities.

In this method, thecourse instructor typically collaborates with a learning scientist to document and analyze theimpact of carefully planned instruction. Each cycle provides an opportunity to evaluate how theinstruction did or did not support learning as intended.
