. Engineeringeducation, especially in higher education, creates similar big data for both faculty and studentsrelated to learning experiences. From clicks to page and video view times, points can be awardedfor engagement or left as an opportunity for student self-evaluation. The digital platform ofinterest here is the interactive textbook with integrated online homework. While these tools aremore common in math and introductory science courses, interactive textbooks for engineeringcourses are becoming more widely available [1-5].Historically, engineering textbooks have been the antithesis of active learning with static text thatis updated about once per decade. However, interactive textbooks put onus on students tocomplete participation clicks, view animations

The 2-or-3-course series has an average of 6.1 credit hours compared to the4.7 credit hours for a single capstone design course. The capstone design experience is 4.8 hourson average if there are design courses throughout the curriculum but 5.7 hours if there are onlydesign projects sprinkled through the curriculum. The survey question did not distinguishbetween semester and quarter credit hours, but 93% of the responding institutions are on thesemester system.Either the capstone design series or single course may be offered once per year or multiple terms.At 78% of the institutions, the capstone design course or courses are offered only once

ineffective in promoting high-level skilldevelopment and self-learning in engineering problem-solving [5-7]. Instead, design thinking,integrated or inductive-learning models, and abductive-thinking, which introduce fundamentalprinciples in the context of solving a given engineering problem, are being used as newparadigms in engineering education [8-13]. These models provide learners with an environmentfor problem-solving while offering feedback and guidance. There are also many active learningstrategies like cooperative learning, problem-based learning, hands-on learning, and computersimulation that have been shown to improve student learning and engagement [14-19]. However,many chemical engineering faculty members are not trained in these

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?

Learning Curricular Development ProjectBefore starting AY2023-2024 and implementing the new experiential learning curriculardevelopment project into the Chemical Product Design course, the instructors understood thatcertain deliverables for this project may slightly deviate from previous product designprojects. This misalignment is due to the limited market for experiential learning in the coreChE curriculum. As such, the focus, goal, or method to obtain certain deliverables may beslightly different.

Though commonlyperceived in an entertainment setting, comics provide an effective alternative to traditionalteaching methods such as textbooks or lectures1. In this study, comics have been specifically usedto demystify the field of chemical engineering and introduce the many opportunities it presents tostudents and professionals alike. 1.1 Chemical Engineering Enrollment The perception of chemical engineering curriculums in national undergraduate programs, aswell as of existing post-graduate opportunities, are often restrictive in nature.

Furthermore, there was a general sense ofhelplessness when it came to enhancing the curriculum, citing concerns that the curriculumalready felt too rigid and overloaded. Faculty recognized that representation and equity problemsexisted, in that different students entered the program with a wide range of experiences, skills,and knowledge. Diversity and inclusion efforts to help reduce these differentials were recognizedfor their value, although faculty felt they needed more guidance to improve effectiveness.Regarding the use of

These STEMnights are amazing; however, one challenge with these events is that they are geared towards alarger audience (e.g., >50 people per event) for a short duration (e.g., 15-60 min) and the briefcontact time may not be sufficient to truly inspire potential young scientists and engineers oreducate them about engineering and the engineering design process.
