to allow studentsmore personalized paths towards different careers [5]. One critical aspect of a chemical engineering program is course(s) on process/plant design. Processdesign is often treated as the culmination of the undergraduate chemical engineering curriculum. Thiscourse draws on knowledge from previous chemical engineering courses including transport, balances,controls, and more. Students are often reminded of what they learned in previous courses and are firstrequired to pull knowledge from multiple previous courses. This means students are likely to see the in-terconnectivity of the curricula for the first time at the very end of their education. Additionally, processdesign tends to focus on the design of a single process

We offer this paper as a way to provide a different example of curricular design, onethat pushes against the siloed nature of universities through local and interconnected examples ofcampus activity and documents a labor process that often is undervalued in reimaginingengineering curricula.References[1] G.

. With these viewpoints inmind, the authors have implemented a student design project focused on developingproducts/modules for hands-on or experiential learning. The final products from this project canthen be integrated into core ChE courses.This paper will discuss how a student-led curricular development project focused on hands-on orexperiential learning was implemented in a year-long product design course. Additionally, thispaper will present some information on the senior product design course as a whole to helpsituate the project. The presentation at ASEE 2024 will delve more into the student-developedproject(s) and student feedback of the experience as it is still in-progress.Course BackgroundCapstone product design courses are

token economy can guide and motivatechemical engineering students in a fluid dynamics course to revisit concepts during the semestervia revisions to previous assignment attempts. Under the token economy, students acquiredtokens as they fulfilled expected class engagement standards and exchanged tokens to purchaseresubmission opportunities on homework or quizzes, which rewarded back a portion of missedpoints to their assignment grade. It is also through these resubmission opportunities that studentsexercised goal-directed practices of identifying the original error(s) and explaining how theadded revision resolved their error(s). Effects of the token economy on how the course wasexperienced were assessed through student survey responses with the
engineering laboratory courses and asked the respondents to answer survey itemsrelated to five research questions: 1. What are the three most important learning outcomes for a laboratory-intensive chemical engineering course? [Open-ended Response] 2. How important are the following learning outcomes for a laboratory-intensive chemical engineering course? [Likert scale for level of importance and Top 5 of importance ranking] 3. What gaps exist in the thirteen learning outcomes identified by Feisel and Rosa? [Open- ended Response] 4. Which learning outcome(s) do you feel you have the most trouble with / are weakest in?
