-course design hasbeen applied to course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs), to our knowledge,these principles have not explicitly been applied to a traditional apprenticeship model.IntroductionUndergraduate research experiences (UREs) have become a popular program at manyinstitutions to bridge the gap between theory and practice (Ahmad, 2022), engage students in adiscipline (Drake, 2024), encourage students to pursue advanced degrees (Ahmad, 2022; Drake,2024), and inform students about research career pathways (Ahmad, 2022; Drake, 2024; Siby2024). UREs come in different formats such as course-based undergraduate researchexperiences (CUREs), a traditional research apprenticeship, or some unique hybridization of aCURE and an

projectwith new learning objectives was incorporated into both courses. Through expert lectures and arobust project, students were introduced to technology commercialization and the entrepreneurialmindset, skills that aid in the development of career-ready and innovative engineers. Studentsapplied these concepts through a laboratory-based design project by participating in a productpitch competition to justify the value of their design to a panel of experts in the field whoexemplified potential investors. To measure outcomes, we assessed students’ self-reportedexpertise in various components of these disciplines through surveys administered at multiplepoints throughout the modules and gathered anonymous feedback through end-of-semestercourse

attributes that are tied to theirfuture careers [3]. Thus, incorporating the student perspective into chemical engineeringlaboratory course design is critical.Thirty-one students responded to the survey. Survey responses included demographic andbackground information, which can be used to situate the survey responses in the context of therespondents’ experiences. Additionally, respondents were asked to rank the five most importantlearning outcomes for laboratory-intensive chemical engineering courses, identify whichoutcomes respondents are weakest in, and which outcomes the chemical engineering curriculumshould do a better job covering. Finally, open-ended questions were included to identifyadditional important learning outcomes and provide comments

-efficacy and/or confidence, poor highschool preparation, shifting career aspirations, instructional quality, and instances of racism andsexism—both implicit and explicit [2].Transferring from community college poses another vulnerability. The potential for the transferpathway has not been fulfilled, despite programming, articulation agreements, and funding overthe past 30 years [3]-[20]. Transfers comprise a diverse population that frequently starts in a two-year institution to reduce high tuition costs and maintain proximity to family. Transfer studentsoffer strong potential to increase engineering degree attainment, particularly among students whoare first-generation to college, experiencing low income, of racially/ethnically

[9]).Self-efficacy, engagement, interest in school, higher grades, and retention have all beenconnected to feelings of relatedness, which are measured in terms of "school environment" andinstructor-student connections (Inkelas, et al.

earlyin their academic careers. With the primary construction materials being from readily available componentsand craft supplies, the project can easily be implemented in both college and high school learningenvironments with limited resources. The completed robot design involves three main functionalchallenges; maneuverability, ability to pick up small objects, and storage of the objects. Students’ robotswill then compete in a simulated biological environment, with small objects that can be placed at differingheights to vary the task difficulty and represent food sources at multiple elevations. Each team of studentswould be tasked to strategically design their robot to optimize performance in a competition for points. Tooptimize their robots

students would benefit from moredeliberate, distributed practice with measurement and data acquisition [1]. Second, themeasurement and data acquisition activities were much more hands-on than the statisticscurriculum, creating very different energy and engagement in the class throughout thesemester. We wanted to modify the course to address these two concerns but decided to takea more holistic approach to the redesign.This paper outlines our comprehensive approach to redesigning Data Analysis. We not onlyconsider changes to the assessments and activities of the class, but we also re-evaluate thelearning objectives in the context of program and college level goals and students’professional careers. We utilize a curricular priority framework to
