theintroduction of analytical concepts within an engineering research and design problem. Thispaper describes how the sodium borohydride hydrolysis reaction was integrated into the projectto answer specific design questions and how the students developed a series of experimentalprocedures to achieve basic understanding of the reaction mechanism in order to affect hydrogenproduction specifically under various operating parameters. From a student perspective, theexperimental study of the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride in the presence of acids and polymermixtures demonstrates key aspects of energy, hydrogen, and energy storage potential of boron-containing chemical compounds.Investigating the Reaction’s Hydrogen Generation RateThe reaction that the

For example, summerbridge programs are commonly hosted by predominantly white institutions (PWIs) to “prepare”students for integration into the engineering curriculum, usually focusing on academic and socialimprovement, offering workshops like math tutoring sessions or interview panels with currentengineers [14], [15], [16]. In developing programs that focus on “fixing” the student to fit thecurrent and historical engineering culture, we foster problematic

and challenges of implementingthe first year in an experimental pilot program. As part of a set of initiatives to transform highereducation at Purdue University, the Polytechnic Institute (PI) was designed to be a multi-disciplinary, hands-on, competency-based experience for undergraduate students in technologyprograms. In Spring 2014, the PI began recruiting students, and in Fall 2014, the programopened its doors to its first cohort. The faculty who had taken a year to design and develop thefirst year curriculum eagerly awaited their new mentees. However, students came in with theirown hopes and concerns, which impacted their desire to join and remain in the program.Students were not alone in their decision-making. They were guided and
