Play with the interface and reflect on how to adapt for your purposes: lecture/in-class activity, homework, group projects, other.Conclusions and reflections for the futureThe workshop and materials described in this paper were developed to provide faculty withresources for incorporating modern computational tools and computational thinking into theirclassrooms through lecture materials, interactive textbook-like content, case studies, in-classactivities, homework, and course projects. We focused on instructing and equipping chemicalengineering faculty rather than students to scale our efforts to reach the target student audiencefor the overall goal of

His primary objective is to oversee the lab space used for a senior-level CHBE capstone course, the Unit Operations Lab. This includes maintaining both the physical equipment and the documentation and procedures that students will use as part of the class. He is also working with the faculty on the revitalization and relocation of the lab. ©American Society for

Coupled with the use of conscious, ethical Artificial Intelligence tools (ChatGPT, JasperAI, Copilot, Gemini, etc.) and learning modalities (active/experiential/inquiry-driven, flipped-classroom, etc.) willempower students to individualize learning experiences/outcomes. However, e-learning must be supplemented byopen discussions [13], and project-based/textbook-based learning, especially for foundational subjects. Withinchemical engineering, core subjects and topics like calculus, transport phenomena, chemical thermodynamics,separation processes, and plant/process design (undergraduate capstone) must be taught through a mix of pedagogicalstrategies. Our results reveal an increase (especially since 2017

ofcontextualization to build foundational skills and indicate real-world relevance.II.​ ContextualizationPORPs aim to improve first-year student engagement by using faculty research slides tocontextualize recitation problems. Contextualization in engineering education links technicalcontent to real-world applications, helping students grasp abstract concepts while emphasizingengineering’s societal impact [17], [18]. This approach fosters technical competence andinformed decision-making in global, economic, environmental, and social contexts [18], [19].Engineering curricula often achieve this through case studies, industry examples, andinterdisciplinary projects, which highlight the connection between technical knowledge andreal-world challenges [20].While
