. This practicewas abandoned in 2023 in favor of just separating students by class. Graduates in the 2023/2024academic year were the first students to have access to the alumni mentoring program every yearin the department. Of those who graduated in that academic year, 56.8% had participated for atleast one year in the mentoring program.Mentoring began each fall with an in-person September kick-off event where the students andmentors met for the first time, discussed what the students expected from a mentoring programand made plans for upcoming mentoring sessions throughout the Fall semester. Prior to thismeeting, the mentors participated in a mentor training program and were provided withmentoring resources to help guide the mentoring process

activelearning both engages students and enhances comprehension [31–33]. Moreover, active learningstrategies are especially effective when working with students from disadvantaged backgrounds[34]. Instructors specifically highlighted the definition of a bioadhesive, the different mechanismsof adhesion [35], how bioadhesives can be modified for biosensor and tissue engineeringapplications [2], and how to use standard mechanical testing methods from the American Societyfor Testing and Materials (ASTM) to test bioadhesives [36]. These learning objectives werehighlighted since they would cumulatively give students the necessary tools to engineerbioadhesives for diverse applications.In the second stage, students planned and executed the IBL bioadhesives

,including surveys, focus groups, and interviews. Survey was selected as the primary tool dueto the opportunity to garner mass responses from students, and the ease of outreach.Development of the survey was carried out by implementation of the following steps: 1. Selection Criteria: Based on the Key Assessment Parameters and the hypotheses to be tested, the selection criteria for the questions to be included were set, allowing a tighter focus on the development of the research plan. 2. Question Generation: Brainstorming and researching existing surveys were used to develop a pool of closed questions for the survey. These were revised and edited to trim the questions to a manageable amount, with target duration of

instructors.While gender disparities in engineering are a widely studied and cited phenomenon, there hasbeen minimal investigation into the role of masculinity as a cultural ideology within engineering.By including a scale to evaluate Hegemonic Masculinity, or the idea that men should be allpowerful, tough and nothing like women, we planned to explore the connections between theendorsement of that ideology and the sense of belonging and identity for students (Vescio andSchermerhorn 2021), (Thompson and Pleck 1995).We are particularly interested in how chemical engineering students respond to all five of theseinstruments through the lens of gender and grade point average (GPA). Grade performance is animportant factor considering the comparability of the

recommend the following: • Gain familiarity with basics of MATLAB and/or Python programming. This could be through prior experience, a workshop such as those offered through AIChE or Software Carpentry, or through the self-paced resources for Python [40, 41, 49-55] and MATLAB [49-52, 56] (annotated in Table 1). • Access our workshop materials online [1], particularly our library of interactive coding templates. • Work through Active learning exercise 1 (described above) to learn how to create a MATLAB Live Script or Jupyter Notebook. • Work through Active learning exercise 2 (described above) to make a simple lesson plan in a MATLAB Live Script or Jupyter Notebook. • Skim through our library

, as discussed previously. The authors considered attempting acomparison of student learning outcomes between these two cohorts. However, deconvolutingthe effects of the project alone versus other confounding variables (remote instruction versus in-person learning for core courses, transfer versus 4-year students, and instructor differences)would not have been possible. Given the overwhelmingly positive student response to theprojects, the authors have no plans to remove the project from the curriculum in the future toperform such a comparison, as doing so may negatively impact the cohort not assigned the groupproject. A more extensive survey of the cohort of students completing the project in all 6courses, however, is a subject of ongoing
