c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Citizen Scientists Engagement in Air Quality MeasurementsAbstract:Citizen scientist efforts, wherein members of the public who are not professional scientistsparticipate in active research, have been shown to effectively engage the public in STEM fieldsand result in valuable data, essential to answering pressing research questions. However, mostcitizen scientist efforts have been centered in colleges of science, and a limited number havecrossed into research areas important to chemical engineering fields. In this work we report onthe results of a project to recruit high school and middle school students across Utah’s Salt LakeValley as citizen scientists and potential engineering

In this two-semester course sequence, students are introducedto sustainability concepts during instruction in chemical process formulation and processsimulation (Design II). Subsequently, students are further instructed on this topic during theirsemester-long senior design project (Design III) course. For the senior design experience,students are required to form into groups of four and complete a senior design project thatinvolves process simulation, using Aspen Plus software, and cost estimation of a chosenchemical process.

A Pharmacokinetic Simulation-Based Module to Introduce Mass Balances and Chemical Engineering Design Concepts to Engineering FreshmenIntroductionOften the opportunities for freshmen engineering students to be exposed to chemical engineeringare limited. Introduction to chemical engineering is typically a sophomore level course.Freshman general engineering courses come in a variety of forms from college orientationcourses to lectures on basics of design and safety to project-based laboratory or designexperiences. A recent survey of 50 chemical engineering undergraduate programs showed that6% of those programs offered engineering laboratory experiences for freshmen through generalengineering courses and 4

Member institutions are equally distributed, two each fromthe United States, United Kingdom, and South Africa. The research team for this project includesfaculty and graduate students from all three countries, with direct representation from five of thesix included institutions.

These events reinforce the importance ofcommunication within engineering.Along with technical skills, students in the engineering discipline are expected to have proficientcommunication skills when entering industry.4 According to a survey of industry representatives,working engineers say they spend over half of their day communicating either throughcollaborating with other employees or discussing opportunities with customers.5 Writing,speaking, and drawing are not simply used for passing information along within engineering;these communication techniques are also used to generate and analyze knowledge.6 For example,a team
