instructors at a concentration of 5% (w/v) and cyanoacrylate was used at themanufacturer concentration. Students used these two bioadhesives to adhere leather chamois strips.Leather chamois strips were chosen because they have a rough, protein-rich surface, which couldallow for adhesion through chemical interactions or mechanical interlocking. Since we did notconduct the activity in a laboratory space, we did not include a crosslinking agent with our gelatinbioadhesive; thus, gelatin and cyanoacrylate adhered through a mechanism of mechanicalinterlocking. Prior to distributing chamois, instructors threaded them with a plastic safety tie formechanical testing. Students then marked the chamois with a horizontal line 0.5 cm from thebottom of the strip

Engineering at the University of California, Davis. Dr. White has been a faculty member at UC Davis since 2015, and he teaches process design and economics, process safety, bioseparations, and senior laboratory courses. He has helped lead the creation of the CHEM E CAD and Industrial Automation club at UC Davis, and he has sought to develop authentic, project-based learning experiences for his students in his courses. Dr. White also serves as the accreditation lead for the chemical engineering program at UC Davis. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Impact of The Design of Coffee, A General Education Chemical Engineering Course, on Students’ Decisions to Major in STEM

.)The learning outcomes for this project were for students to be able to: - Draw information from a variety of online models and databases, - Estimate atmospheric pollutant concentrations given limited information, and validate against existing datasets for model accuracy, - Develop substantive hypotheses regarding potential causal societal factors for pollutant concentrations, and - Use a statistically appropriate method to infer trends, or lack thereof.Students were allowed to present their results in any form of summary that they deemedappropriate: while most employed a more typical laboratory report style structure to their reports,some employed PowerPoint, or slide style presentations to emphasize the

K-12 students andits results demonstrated that while 80 percent of students enjoyed reading the comic, there wasvaried engagement with the contents and most retained little to no information conveyed. In another study1, two comics titled “DataAnalysis” and “Uncertainty” were distributed to aTransport I Laboratory course where the comic’scontents had already been introduced in class andwere being supported by the comic’s contents.Student feedback was gathered through studentself-assessment on a 1-5 Likert scale, whichindicated that 94 percent of students were moreconfident in the comic’s contents after reading it,and the average grade of students in the courseincreased from 83.0 ± 1.6 to 86.2 ± 1.2.

During this time his primary teaching and course develop- ment responsibilities were wide-ranging, but included running the Unit Operations laboratory, introducing Aspen Plus software to the curriculum, and developing a course for a new M.S. program on Renewable Energy (EUREC). In conjunction with his teaching appointment, he supervised dozens of internships (a part of the curriculum at the Hanze), and a number of undergraduate research projects with the Energy Knowledge Center (EKC) as well as a master’s thesis. In 2016, Dr. Barankin returned to the US to teach at the Colorado School of Mines. His primary teaching and course development responsibilities here include the Unit Operations Lab and

authorityfigure, who traditionally was male. Authority has been studied related to other issues likeclassroom and laboratory work, but reading/following directions is not central to these studies[42]. A third possible explanation is that female students who self-select into engineering arebetter students on average than male students, which would involve a subset from other studiesof first-year college students [43]. This third hypothesis could be examined using standardizedtest scores or high school grades or rank. Since most students in the MEB course are in theirsecond semester of their engineering education, only one semester of grade data is available fromtheir university transcripts.When focusing on higher education, few examples of
