An important outcome of the post-program mentoring sessions was for the students topresent their research at a regional or national conference. Students worked with their mentorsshortly after the summer program ended to determine the best fitting conference for their workamong the potential opportunities. These opportunities included the ERN conference, ArkansasIDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (Arkansas INBRE), the 2023 Membranes forViral Purification (MVP) Center annual meeting, and the 2023 MAST center annual meeting.Poster development and presentation practice sessions were held leading

Instructional faculty then formed the teams based on student preferences andother best practices for team formation [13], such as not isolating minoritized students whereverpossible.Projects were all internally supported. In other words, there were no external partners or mentorsfor the projects. Students on this project were mentored by the instructional team whose diversebackgrounds encompass instruction of several core ChE courses, research in the engineeringeducation domain, and experience in experiential learning. Additionally, this semester a graduatestudent instructor was added to the instructional team for an additional project mentor.Implementation of Experiential

These examplesand short life lessons have been positively perceived by students, especially nontraditionalstudents returning to college for a career change. It’s affirming to see discussion board posts andemails stating how relating this directly to their own experiences and showing concern for theirfinancial well-being helps students master and learn Excel in an engaging way. These sameconcepts and Excel techniques are also used during the economic analysis of a large chemicalprocess in senior plant design, however, it's more impactful to relate these concepts to students’current financial situation as occurs within the first-year course.Lessons Learned and

. Most of them have onefoot in college and one foot in industry or graduate programs. They expect the course to providea bridge between the “two worlds”, or between “the past and the future”.The capstone course at our institution has been described elsewhere [3]. Essentially, it is a five-credit-hour course, offered twice a year in the spring term (two sections) and in the summersession (one section). Spring sections normally enroll 30-50 students, and less than 20 in thesummer sessions. One faculty teaches each section. Spring sessions may have one or twoteaching assistants (graduate students). It focuses on a team project for the design of acommercial chemical plant, with supporting lectures on process synthesis and design, equipmentsizing

lectures is what is best for their learning. Unfortunately,given that regular class attendance in and of itself is an equity issue, particularly for those withchronic illnesses and other disabilities, this practice of not recording often begs the question of“best for who or what populations?” Instructors must think about who they are including or notincluding by recording.Banerjee reconciles these seemingly conflicting conclusions by carefully delineating the benefitsto individual students of lecture capture as a supplemental resource (for which there isoverwhelming evidence) [2] vs. the aggregate impact on class attendance and performance whenstudents view recordings as a substitute for live lectures and in-class interaction [3].

She is also the Engineering Workforce Development Director for CISTAR, the Center for Innovative and Strategic Transformation of Alkane Resources, a Na- tional Science Foundation Engineering Research Center. Her research focuses on how identity, among other affective factors, influences diverse students to choose engineering and persist in engineering. She also studies how different experiences within the practice and culture of engineering foster or hinder be- longing and identity development. Dr. Godwin graduated from Clemson University with a B.S. in
