, it is desirable to keep these factors in mind from theconception stages of case studies so that they can appropriately capture these topics withoutappearing superfluous or unrelated in scope.The interplay between social and engineering issues lends itself well to project-based learningapproaches of assessment, which enable a deeper and more longform analysis of an individualtopic compared to exams. While many classes that discuss atmospheric systems will focus onbroader regional- or global-scale climate as motivation for research questions in such projects,conversations around public health in outdoor air systems provide a smaller-scale but equallyimportant context from which atmospheric phenomena can be observed.

to make changes to incorporate EBIPs in their teaching.Faculty SurveyThe faculty survey was designed to help quantify faculty opinions on the curriculum, teachingpractices, and the mindsets in teaching chemical engineering. The Yeager et al. 2022 study foundthat teacher mindset in high school math teachers was a key factor for a student mindsetintervention to be successful, and cultivating a student’s growth mindset needed intentionalteacher support [6]. With that in mind, we decided to find out how our faculty felt about growthmindset.The term “growth mindset” refers to those who believe that abilities and intelligence can bedeveloped over time (for example, a belief that students can improve their math abilities throughstudy practice) [7

2020). We believe adding thebreakout room facilitators helped, and we continue to address these comments.Overall, these findings also confirm the assumption that independent of the specific case studyparticipated in, participants found the case studies were valuable in assisting their learning. Weattribute this high-value ranking to the specific nature of the case studies and their directconnection to chemical engineering topics, where the majority of participants (graduate students,post-docs, and faculty) are conducting research in related areas. These case studies providedconcrete examples of analyses of research topics with social justice in mind, ideally givingparticipants a framework for similarly analyzing their own research

fact, Table 4 shows that even though GPA did notcorrelate with any of the scales for men, we did see a significant correlation for women for theperformance-based Engineering Identity and Belonging. Keep in mind that there is no differencebetween the GPA for men and women. Examples of questions that show that these areperformance-based are: 1. “I can do well on exams in engineering.” (EI), 2. I can overcomesetbacks in engineering (EI), 3. “I think in the same way as do people who do well in chemicalengineering at X University.” (Belonging) 4. “Compared with most other students at XUniversity, I know how to do well in chemical engineering.” (Belonging). Future studies willinvestigate if this correlation holds with the non-performance-based
