Someexamples include meditation (mindfulness(11)(12)(13), Tamarkoz(14), Yoga(15)), a resilienceprogram(16), dance movement therapy(17), engaging in acts of kindness and giving(18), anassignment consisting of developing an actual plan for mental wellness(19), and increasing student-faculty interaction through informal social events.(20) It is worthwhile to mention

complement traditional classroom lectures is twofold: 1) they provide away for students to visualize the phenomena about which they are learning, lowering thecognitive load of the lesson; and 2) they also provide professors with an opportunity to havestudents work in groups. The first point is mostly intuitive. If students must visualize in theirown minds the phenomena taking place, they must exert extra effort they could be spending onsolving problems or exploring the topics in more detail. This also leads to misconceptions, asstudents likely will not have a complete model of the phenomena with their current knowledgeand will need a form of reference material to avoid making mistakes. This is often why, in atraditional engineering class, students

and applied/enrolled in the chemical engineering program. Anotherspace that we can tap into with the desk-scale modules is online education, specificallyhomeschooled students. Once we have a proper mechanism to ensure the delivery of sufficientkits, we can expand to other locations to tackle the challenge of decreased chemical engineeringenrollment nationwide. We will also incorporate other topics like heat transfer and solid-liquidoperations. UF has already developed these other modules; thus, their integration into thesummer program can be planned in a smooth and organized manner, keeping in mind that theymust be customized for high-school students.The chemical engineering course in the summer program starts with an introductory

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

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).
