. The results provide insight intothe prioritization of laboratory learning outcomes and allow the redesign of laboratory courses tobetter align with the skills and attributes desired from all three stakeholder groups.IntroductionOver the last decade, many surveys and studies have considered the future of chemicalengineering and its alignment with industry expectations [4], resulting in changes to ABETrequirements [5] (specifically towards process safety education [6] and ethics and socialresponsibility [7]). A larger picture of chemical engineering modernization was the focus of arecent National Academies report entitled “New Directions for Chemical Engineering”, whichexplored research and undergraduate educational program updates [8

how people who historically resided in the Northern Great Plains helpedinsulate their homes (using snow, sod, animal hides, etc.) show how innovative Indigenouspeoples and homesteaders were able to adapt to this area before indoor heating improvements.Oil pipeline: One highly contentious issue within the Upper Midwest is the construction andreplacement of oil pipelines, most recently the Dakota Access Pipeline and Enbridge Line 3.Most students have some direct experience or knowledge of the protests surrounding theseprojects, yet often do not have the complete engineering and/or cultural understanding to fullyunderstand the complexity of the issues. Within both an engineering ethics course and a fluidscourse this topic is discussed. In the

the global context in their work [1]. This involves acknowledging and respectingcultural differences in design, implementation, and decision-making processes. Developing thesecompetencies provides and supports effective communication which is crucial for globalcollaboration. Engineers need to be adept at expressing complex technical concepts in a way thatis understandable across different cultures and backgrounds.Global competencies provide a scaffold to work in diverse teams, bringing together individualswith different skills, backgrounds, and cultural perspectives to address global challenges.Providing educational learning opportunities in social responsibility through ethical decision-making is important as it aligns with ethical

flow diagrams Process safety Process simulation Product design Figure 22. Coverage of technical topics in the capstone design experienceA similar question asked about the coverage of professional skills in the capstone designexperience (Figure 23). Only professional communication and teamwork skills are covered in-depth at 40% or more of responding institutions. Teamwork and ethics were both taught at amajority of institutions in 2012 [1], but most of these topics were not on the survey then. All ofthe topics listed are covered at least lightly in a majority of responding institutions exceptnegotiating skills, which was also low on the topics taught list in 2012

fewer than 5 minutes. For the second phase of the project, subjective questions were added after each section. 3. Survey Development: The survey was built on Google Surveys, using the question bank created. The format of the questions was tailored according to the level of specificity that was needed. The survey was reviewed and approved by our institution’s human research ethics committee. 4. Validation: The final survey was reviewed internally and then tested with a sample audience of 3 students. Feedback collected from the test audience was reviewed, analysed, and used to revise the survey. 5. Rollout: The survey was initially taken by a third-year chemical engineering class and

of a wider range of ethical implications and societal impacts. Byembracing DEI, the engineering discipline is better positioned to tackle the grand challenges ofour time, from climate change to equitable access to technology, with solutions that are as variedand complex as the issues themselves [14], [15]. In essence, the integration of DEI into theengineering discipline enhances the field's ability to generate transformative solutions that areequitable, sustainable, and reflective of the needs of all segments of society. It is not just an idealto aspire to but a practical necessity for the continued relevance and progress of the engineeringprofession.Chemical Engineering, like many engineering fields, grapples with the underrepresentation

specific SOs will beintroduced or reinforced, and thus serve as formative assessment. Assessment in I- and R-designated courses are performed each year, while A-designated courses are assessed once everytwo years. SOs 1 through 3 are assessed in the first year, and SOs 4 through 7 are assessed in thesecond year of the two-year cycle. I-designated courses are all sophomore and first-semesterjunior level courses, while the R-designated courses are second-semester junior level courses.Those SOs that can be more challenging to assess in typical lecture courses, namely SO 2(design), SO 3 (communications), SO 4 (ethics and professional responsibility) and SO 5(teamwork), were concentrated for assessment in courses with design projects (Introduction

in aggregateto the Penn State research team as long as the groups were large enough to remain unidentifiablein order to support ethical validity of this work. We feel that having our research partners atClemson send out invitations to the survey helped boost the response rate significantly, and weachieved a 75% response rate from our faculty.Regarding the growth mindset statements (restated below) results show that faculty somewhatdisagree with (1), are neutral/somewhat disagree with (2), and disagree with (3). There is a largestandard deviation with these responses, especially for (2). Although faculty believe, on average,that all students can learn chemical engineering, faculty feel that some inherent intelligence orskill is needed

case studies in undergraduate courses can be developed.As the impacts of climate change have continued to evolve and manifest over the past fewdecades, there is also a growing need to develop more nuanced and expansive discourse aroundenvironmental topics. [1] Due to their complexity, the social, ethical, and justice elements ofenvironmental issues often take a secondary role to more economic or policy-based motivations(loss of product, emission/release standards, etc.) in these discussions, which may result in theunintentional erasure or lack of apparent attention to the socially disadvantaged groups whom aredisproportionately affected. [2]–[4] As such, when creating new materials for environmentally-focused chemical engineering coursework
