education scholarship has shifted. Engineering education research has emerged as a legitimateform of academic scholarship [1]. Meanwhile, many chemical engineering programs have shiftedto greater emphasis on research productivity, and professional track faculty have emerged as animportant resource in delivering high quality instruction to larger and larger class sizes [2].Additionally, new challenges continue to face the field, including shifting undergraduateenrollments [3], the need to prepare graduates to use new technologies and address emergingdirections in the field [4], and continued calls for an engineering education that leveragesresearch-based practices and supports equity [5,6].In light of this changing landscape, an ad hoc committee was

.1-4 Proposed changes include discussion ofnew technology such as computer science or green chemistry or soft skills like professionalismwhich were not part of the curriculum 20 years ago. However, the same level of action is notseen in the articles regarding the graduate curriculum. There are limited papers on the integrationof new ideas into the graduate curriculum, and only one paper describing the course curriculumacross the US.1, 5-7 The study by David Kauffman attempts to capture the number of schools inthe US which require/suggest the core chemical engineering classes at the graduate level in2002.7 In the nearly 20 years since this paper was published, the research on graduate studiescurriculum in engineering has been lacking.

To teach studentsabout climate change and an emerging industry in carbon dioxide removal (CDR), a carbondioxide capture experiment was included in a senior chemical engineering laboratory course. Theexperiment was iteratively scaled-up and student-designed in one rotation of a single
, implementing it at a large scalerequires reducing the associated costs significantly and being able to accommodate differenttypes of gas emission sources. Thus, there is still an urgent need to study this technology andimprove it.Microreactors are an emerging technology in chemical reaction engineering [7]. The high surfacearea to volume ratio is an important characteristic of the microreactor design. It reduces the massand heat transfer resistances resulting in superior mass and heat transfer rates, compared to largerreactors [8]. Microreactors easily and precisely control the flow and temperature conditionswhich results in a high potential for process intensification for several engineering applications.Microreactor technology is being explored for
their ability to identify health, safety, and welfareconcerns in the design of the heat exchanger equipment through the essay. Thus, the written quizassessed the student's ability to learn and develop a rationale for safe engineering solutions.Reactive Process EngineeringIn the Reaction Kinetics course, students develop an open-ended semester-long project researchinga high-volume product of their choice and one major company producing it. The report and threesequenced presentations (12% of the final grade) should address relevant information about theproduct on chemical characterization, historical development, production processes, uses, markets,technology, and specifically a selected simplified kinetic model with a code to test the impact
