, it is theadvisor’s responsibility to provide research funding and student funding when students are notsupported by other scholarship/fellowship funding. The funding is therefore, a big driver for thework the students perform and learn about. While the structure has been in place for many years,any person who has obtained a degree in chemical engineering can tell you that outside of theclasses, the quality of the experience varies. Every advisor stresses different skills or takes adifferent approach to teaching. However, when the degree is awarded, all students are expectedto be able to lead projects, manage teams, have strong oral and written communication,teamwork, problem-solving skills, economic skills, and be aware of their professional

Not surprisingly, most engineering education interventions reported in the literaturetarget first-year engineering women and first-generation/low-income students to increase theirSB and engineering identity. Some intervention examples to retain this population of studentsinclude faculty and peer-mentoring, participation in internships with local STEM companies[21], interviewing a person of color in STEM [22], use of makerspaces for completing designprojects [23], summer bridge programs [24], first-year engineering student success course [25],and sociotechnical design projects

The more complex theproject, the more functions the team performs, resulting in overlapping roles andresponsibilities [25]. A key factor here is allowing sufficient time between assessments forfeedback to be implemented, allowing members the chance to revise their strategies [16].Some of these challenges can be addressed through the use of templates, such as IDEALS[26], that provides a comprehensive assessment schema for team activities.

The projected forecast is a new decline in enrollment for the next couple of years as aconsequence of factors including the dominant industry, job offer and demand, and a processcontrol-related oscillatory response influenced by graduation times, complex curricula, andsalary reward[2].Additionally, ChE freshmen matriculation has declined due to students leaving their major toother perceived “less pollutant” engineering disciplines such as those of civil, biomedical, andenvironmental.

This project could serve to integrate concepts from multiple areas of the class sostudents are not learning specific skills in a vacuum. Finally, as early-career

periods of flexibility in deadlines may be aneffective choice to deal with these circumstances. Too much flexibility can lead to students nevercompleting work at all: students without enough scaffolding working through projects andcourses can easily procrastinate significant chunks of work for so long that it is impossible tosufficiently complete work by the end of the semester. Having regular deadlines is a “small-teaching intervention” that can in part help students to avoid academic procrastination. Researchalso shows correlations between assignment submission times and final grades (generally, thosewho submit earlier perform better in a course than those who submit at the deadline or later) andbetween assignment submission times and self
