goals inChemE, guided by SCCT. Previous STEM education research has measured student interestusing SCCT-based instruments like the STEM Career Interest Survey (STEM-CIS), which wasoriginally designed for K-12 students and validated for engineering (RMSEA = 0.017, CFI =0.990, NFI = 0.950) [27]. This study adapted the STEM-CIS engineering subscale forundergraduate ChemE students by modifying six items and introducing two new items to assessunderstanding of ChemE and self-efficacy for post-graduation ChemE careers. These items weremeasured on a Likert-scale, from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Additionally,interest in ChemE subfields corresponding to the five course topics was rated on a scale of 1 (notat all interested) to 5

engineering education [8-10]. Context is important since self-efficacy is dependent on the topic; however, in the case of agency, contextualization is not to afield, but rather to the consequentiality of the decision. We found that the most significantdomain was Domain 3, analyzing data and interpreting results, which contributed to students’identities as engineers more than other domains and, since the tasks are more relevant to the fieldof engineering, the students’ identities develop more [11]. Other recent publications in chemicalengineering education also discuss ways to provide more opportunities for students to experienceagency, from using data science tutorials that make it possible for more students to participate inauthentic laboratory

[1].As with most changes in curriculum implementation, challenges remain. The most documentedchallenges highlight student understanding, lesson timeliness, and school district acceptance.Other comments focus on challenges in STEAM assessment [2]. Despite STEAM educationpromoting creativity and self-efficacy [4], new tools need to be developed and designed forintegration in order to serve a variety of learners and successfully communicate complexscientific ideas.One of the most traditional scientific communication tools is the textbook, often text heavy withsupporting visuals. Textbooks and other standard tools rely on active cognitive participation bythe reader. Unfamiliarity or predisposed conflicting beliefs can easily sway readers away

chemical engineering.The paper delves into key aspects such as how students engage in decision-making concerningsocial and environmental challenges in specific geographical contexts, how they integrate DEIinto company practices and teamwork dynamics, and how they assess the necessity andimplications of sustainable technologies. The analysis also evaluates the redesign’s impact onstudent self-efficacy, learning outcomes, and the quality of their projects.2. BackgroundThere has been an increased focus to address sustainability and social impacts in engineeringeducation. So much as that ABET has updated its 2022-2023 Student Outcome 2 to reflect thisby emphasizing “an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specifiedneeds
