A rubric was created for each EOP corevalue so that the students of each team were assigned one of the following assessments: • Category of “Excellent”: complete mastery of the concept with no to very minor (e.g. non conceptual) errors – you would rate this selection of student work as an “A”. • Category of “Good”: Mastery of the

It aims tointegrate first-year students into the MSE department and promote their academic successthrough activities including student panels and lessons on time management and wellness. TheMSE seminar is based on an academic success strategies course developed at the start of thepandemic that emphasized time management, wellness, and reflective change [28]. Both courseswere taught by department faculty and integrated significant peer interactions.This study had two research questions: (1) How do students perceive belonging in the two engineering departments? (2) Are there differences in students’ perceptions of belonging between students who

chemical engineering programs across the U.S. have seen stagnation or decreases inenrollment numbers, there have been efforts to redefine what chemical engineers do. Whilechemical engineering has strong ties to the oil and gas industry, there are also strong connectionsto renewable energy, energy storage, and broader sustainability topics. Students acrossuniversities have expressed interest and desires to learn about sustainability-focused topicsacross disciplines. While many faculty in chemical engineering have been working in researchand practice of sustainability engineering for years, the undergraduate curriculum has beenslower to reflect these changes.Importantly, sustainability is a cross-cutting space that is defined and operationalized

We have found some value inincluding the survey as part of the normal post-laboratory assignments, as the questions aboutrelevance and consequential agency jointly provide an opportunity for students to reflect on theirexperience and provide additional insight for faculty about how students perceive the laboratoryexperiment. As such, we encourage faculty to assign minimal completion points (not extracredit), in line with an activity that takes around 10 minutes to complete. Research emphasizesthe value of reflecting on experience, as this helps cement and organize learning [38]. Inaddition, faculty may benefit from gaining

.) Of course,this approach is just one way to prepare a study guide. Reflecting both on the previous work [7]and the known benefits of teaming within STEM (e.g., [3]), students could work together insmall teams to collaboratively prepare a study guide that each of the team members would useduring a quiz or exam. This was the strategy taken in the current student and, accordingly, theresearch question proposed in this work is as follows: “Does the construction method of a studyguide affect study guide usage on exams?” We proposed this research question owing to theknown effectiveness of collaborative learning [3], the benefits of a constructivist environment [8]and the suggestion on the benefits of peer-sharing in the creation of study guides

It is expected that students will see a large discrepancy between theconcentrations of ozone calculated via this method and the ambient values noted through themonitoring stations. This discrepancy encourages students to think reflectively upon the otheratmospheric phenomenon taking place in the troposphere; for instance, volatile organiccompounds, which are not taken into account in the NOx cycle, contribute heavily to the overalltropospheric ozone balance, necessarily resulting in a difference between what was observed andwhat was estimated. The discussion taking place here is meant to prime students for thesubsequent component of the project, in which it is likely that unexpected dependences mayfactor into

from strengthening their problem-solving skills, exposing engineeringstudents to such coding experience confers attributes of systems thinking, creativity and deeperunderstanding of processes on students [10]. Additionally, such exposure enhances researchcapabilities of graduate students as it offers the opportunity to experiment new ideas.Pedagogically, computer program scripts written for teaching and learning purposes could bedeployed as tools to engage learners in simulation-based reflection on their performance in manualcomputations [11]. The teaching and learning of reservoir simulation, as a petroleum engineeringcourse module, stands to benefit a lot from this workflow coding approach. The reservoirsimulation body of knowledge is
