course policies for students with physical and mental disabilities and chronicillnesses, enabling them to fully engage with this important experiential learning opportunity. Bymodeling accessibility through the lab design and course policies, as well as intentionallydiscussing workplace accessibility, laboratory instructors can teach students the importance ofdesigning and maintaining accessible spaces and the skills to achieve these goals in their futurework. In this study, we surveyed UO lab instructors to understand how, or if, accessible designis implemented in existing chemical engineering lab courses to understand how our institutionsand programs are supporting disabled and chronically ill students. We draw on our experienceand the survey

The College ofEngineering and Computer Science (ECS) amended the ECS bylaws in 2020 to specify thatpromotion from Assistant to Associate teaching faculty must have demonstrated both “very high-quality teaching” and secondarily “high quality service,” and for Associate to Full, demonstrationof “excellence” in teaching and “very high quality service” in addition to leadership whereopportunities exist. The bylaws note that teaching may encompass various professionalactivities relating to undergraduate or graduate education, including classroom effectiveness,lecture and laboratory course development, and adoption of more effective teaching practices,whereas service includes program administration, committee participation, student and
surpassedthose experienced by undergraduate, master’s and PhD/postdoctoral trainees completing our morecomplex IBL bioadhesives module [29], which was expected since middle school students wouldlikely have never been exposed to bioadhesives before. Moreover, these learning gains werecomparable to those experienced by freshman engineering students [41,42] and middle schoolstudents [28] completing IBL laboratory modules. These significant learning gains demonstratethat this IBL bioadhesives outreach module effectively teaches students principles of bioadhesives.Pre/post-surveys demonstrated that students did not experience significant improvements in theirattitudes towards STEM from participating in our IBL bioadhesives outreach module.

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
.)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
