The program was structured by annually forming 11-12 mentoring circles,each containing three mentors (most typically, one member who was a member of the ArkansasAcademy of Chemical Engineers and graduated at least 20 years ago, and two other alumni whograduated 5-10 years ago) and 4-6 students that are all in the same year of school. Studentparticipation in the program is voluntary and just under 50% of our students participate annually.Following the program kick-off soon after school starts in the Fall semester, the circles averagefour mentoring events during the Fall semester, followed by a final Program

Engaged alumni can also improve the rate of jobplacement and internship opportunities for current students. In addition, alumni can provide amost valuable source of mentoring for students in their curriculum and career. However, thereare limited approaches to engage alumni with curricular courses.

Part of the center’s mission is to provide unique membraneresearch opportunities for a variety of students. An opportunity exists to provide these researchopportunities in addition to mentoring and career preparation to students local to the NorthwestArkansas (NWA) communities. A major component of this effort consists of expanded ResearchOpportunities for Undergraduates (REU) programs for students not enrolled in traditional four-year degree programs.

opportunities ofengineering students are also constantly evolving [3]. Nowadays, engineering students arepursuing careers in more diversified areas that possess fluid work structures, and that requireengineers that are quick to adapt to change and effective at facilitating multidisciplinarycollaborations [3], [5], [10]. In this context, communication and teamwork are critical to thesuccess of early career engineers; these capabilities are a fundamental aspect of career growthand an integral trait of leadership [4], [10]–[12]. The ability to communicate effectively, todemonstrate teaming skills, and to work in dynamic teams is increasingly important, and must beconsidered a priority in engineering programs as they try to better prepare students for

This comic was then distributed tostudents beginning their first undergraduate year at Northeastern University and who had not yetdefinitively declared their major.

Another idea that I had gleaned from conversationswith students was that they didn’t remember much from their computer science Introduction toComputing courses because it seemed impractical. “Hello, world” and other programs they hadbeen asked to write were not related to what they saw as their future career. My goal, therefore,was to demonstrate relevance to my students. Thus, each problem they were asked to solveneeded to relate to chemical engineering. This was made more challenging by the fact that thestudents had very limited knowledge of what chemical engineering was at the time they weretaking this course.

After thesesummaries, instructors prompted the entire group with questions relating directly to the results oftheir activity (e.g., Which adhesive was stronger? Why?) and more open-ended questions thatchallenged students to think about real-world applications of bioadhesives. After the guideddiscussion, students were encouraged to ask any questions they had about the activity,bioadhesives, and careers in STEM.

Theboundaries of this discipline have become grayer and allow for more interdisciplinarycollaborations and broader research interests, leading to impactful discoveries. The need for periodic review of processes is needed in all fields of endeavor, andchemical engineering education is no different. Curricula must change and evolve as the worldchanges and evolves to match the variety of applications and jobs/careers the students willundertake after completing their degree. These changes to the scope of chemical engineering canbe seen in the undergraduate education curriculum
