-level engineering and science students who had typically populated the in-person course, as well as students at all levels and of all majors who found food an intriguing topic and desired to complete their “laboratory science” general education requirement. The needs of these two audiences varied and as the University returned to in-person instruction, the online summer course was reimagined with the needs of the non-engineering audience in mind as CHEG 242 Applied Food Science and Engineering for Nonmajors. This course has turned into a regular o ering as part of the small core of exclusively online summer courses o ered at Bucknell. fl ff ff

The entrepreneurially minded learning (EML) framework based on the 3 Cs ofcuriosity, connection, and creating value also support student-centered learning experiences, asdemonstrated in the classroom and the laboratory [14], [15].In this study, we aim to qualitatively assess the implementation of open-ended final projects inthe Chemical Engineering Unit Operations Laboratory with experiential learning components.This remaining sections of this paper include: 2.

and applied/enrolled in the chemical engineering program. Anotherspace that we can tap into with the desk-scale modules is online education, specificallyhomeschooled students. Once we have a proper mechanism to ensure the delivery of sufficientkits, we can expand to other locations to tackle the challenge of decreased chemical engineeringenrollment nationwide. We will also incorporate other topics like heat transfer and solid-liquidoperations. UF has already developed these other modules; thus, their integration into thesummer program can be planned in a smooth and organized manner, keeping in mind that theymust be customized for high-school students.The chemical engineering course in the summer program starts with an introductory

complement traditional classroom lectures is twofold: 1) they provide away for students to visualize the phenomena about which they are learning, lowering thecognitive load of the lesson; and 2) they also provide professors with an opportunity to havestudents work in groups. The first point is mostly intuitive. If students must visualize in theirown minds the phenomena taking place, they must exert extra effort they could be spending onsolving problems or exploring the topics in more detail. This also leads to misconceptions, asstudents likely will not have a complete model of the phenomena with their current knowledgeand will need a form of reference material to avoid making mistakes. This is often why, in atraditional engineering class, students

to make changes to incorporate EBIPs in their teaching.Faculty SurveyThe faculty survey was designed to help quantify faculty opinions on the curriculum, teachingpractices, and the mindsets in teaching chemical engineering. The Yeager et al. 2022 study foundthat teacher mindset in high school math teachers was a key factor for a student mindsetintervention to be successful, and cultivating a student’s growth mindset needed intentionalteacher support [6]. With that in mind, we decided to find out how our faculty felt about growthmindset.The term “growth mindset” refers to those who believe that abilities and intelligence can bedeveloped over time (for example, a belief that students can improve their math abilities throughstudy practice) [7

We believe adding thebreakout room facilitators helped, and we continue to address these comments.Overall, these findings also confirm the assumption that independent of the specific case studyparticipated in, participants found the case studies were valuable in assisting their learning. Weattribute this high-value ranking to the specific nature of the case studies and their directconnection to chemical engineering topics, where the majority of participants (graduate students,post-docs, and faculty) are conducting research in related areas. These case studies providedconcrete examples of analyses of research topics with social justice in mind, ideally givingparticipants a framework for similarly analyzing their own research
