With this guidingframework in mind, the purpose of this qualitative research study was to use Bolman and Deal’s(1991) Four Frames model to further the understanding of how first- and second-year chemicalengineering students understand their role in a large, public research-intensive university in theMid-Atlantic United States. This study made use of the analysis of interview transcripts from tenchemical engineering students in each of their first two years of undergraduate study to addressthe following research questions: 1. How do first- and second-year chemical engineering students understand their role in their university as an organization? 2. In what

Thefactors that influence a student’s decision to leave engineering are linked to both academic and non-academic factors5. Academic factors include teaching, advising and curriculum. Non-academicfactors include being part of a cohort and having a sense of community. Students who believe theybelong in engineering are more likely to be retained in engineering.The impact of freshmen-level courses on student retention has been studied6,7.

As such, the first question was: “Should a sustainability class for civil engineers bebroad or focused on a particular subject?” The goal was to help students develop a broadunderstanding of sustainability; meanwhile, it was crucial to offer students some tangible andtransferable skills and an opportunity to practice sustainable design in real-world problems.Additionally, it was important to keep in mind that engineering students often feel morecomfortable with solving numerical problems and finding the ‘correct’ answer, rather thandealing

capability. Essentially, the students had suffered fromscope creep throughout their project experience. In the efforts to create an open-ended, real-lifeproject where students could effectively set their own scope, we actually created a challenge thatstudents could not wrap their minds around. This resulted in long project reports with disjointedinformation and designs. It was evident through the reports that the students had spent much timeon their projects, as individual parts of the designs were well planned, executed, and designedwith proper engineering principles and concepts. However, the students had a difficult timedeciding what to focus on and what not to, which lead to a lack in the overall cohesiveness of the
