Darrell Velegol attended West Virginia University for his BS in Chemical Engineering, and he earned his PhD in Chemical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University in 1997 working with Professors John L. Anderson and Stephen Garoff. In 1998 Velegol won the Victor K. LaMer Award of the American Chemical Society for the best PhD in the field of Colloid & Surface Science. He continued with a post- doc in the Center for Light Microscope Imaging and Biotechnology at Carnegie Mellon, working under Professor Fred Lanni of the Biology Department. In June 1999 Velegol joined the Department of Chemical Engineering at Penn State, where he was promoted to Associate Professor in 2005. Velegol won an NSF CAREER Award in 2000, and

Interdisciplinary Design Skills1 INTRODUCTIONAt the Sunapee State University engineering majors are similar to those at other schools around thenation. Most students choose a specific major in an area of interest to them and their future career plans.Within the engineering major, these students follow a specific track of courses with little variation in theform of electives taken during the third and fourth years. With the only common courses between majorsbeing rooted in math, physics, chemistry, writing and some social sciences, it is unsurprising to find thatgraduates from different programs develop and exhibit a completely different set of technical skills. Theissue in this model surfaces when those graduates leave the university to begin their

fields. In the first two years of college, and particularly under conditions ofuncertainty and material problems precipitated by a pandemic, STEM students face barriers toattainment of educational and career goals. First-year STEM students may not feel a sense of“belonging” in their chosen major or may not have even selected a program of study [1]. Secondyear students face a “critical juncture” as they approach transfer to a 4-year school [2]. At thispoint, many STEM students change majors or leave higher education altogether [3]. Engineeringeducation research points to feelings of isolation as contributing factors to lack of persistence inthe engineering major [4].One way to promote persistence among students who have selected STEM is to assist

As instructorswe have noticed that many students, even after taking multiple courses related to energythroughout their college career, still do not have a broad understanding of energy relatedconcepts and its significance in solving sociotechnical problems. One of the challenges we haveobserved is that students often lack a cohesive definition for energy. Energy concepts are oftentaught to students in ways that do not connect to their lived experience. Many students do nothave a way to relate personally to the subject, and thus struggle to see how these concepts arerelevant to either their personal lives or their future work as an engineer.In this paper, we will begin with a short literature review on energy education followed

A well-designed, relevant, and engaging curriculum will provide ample opportunities for rigorous exploration of the concepts. We believe that aligning the curriculum more closely with modern practices (i.e., emphasis on software, real data sets, etc.) and integrating oral and digital communication principles into this course represents a natural progression for an engineering statistics curriculum.
