The intent of the lab isto provide positive exposure to chemical engineering topics to students who may be otherwiseunfamiliar with the field to increase the number of students, particularly URM students, enteringthe discipline.2.2 Foundational Chemical Engineering LabsDespite there being an abundance of resources regarding potential foundational chemicalengineering labs through publications such as ASEE, CEE and AICHE, there are two mainproblems that one may encounter when attempting to appropriate these materials: 1) the level ofthe content is inadequate for the intended audience and 2) the cost of the equipment isprohibitive.

Moreover, cultural-determinedmanipulation can be employed, such as using D minor chords to incite sadness. Sometimes thecreator has physiological differences from the observer. For example, late in Claude Monet’s lifehe painted with vivid blue hues in his compositions. This intensity of the blue was in response tohis reduced ability to see the color blue.While the creator’s idea has a potentially uninhibited reality in their own mind, the technologyused to portray the creation relies upon the someone else’s tools, whether a clarinet, canvas, orcomputer. Often the creator needs to interface with the
learning ties learning to the sole act of earning higher grades. It should be notedthat true learning, manifest in deeper (meaning) learning approaches and progression into“contextual learning” (the highest level in intellectual development in Baxter Magolda model) isdifficult to measure using quantitative assessments.What actions would you take to support student learning?In each course, providing space to allow students to see how knowledge builds on conceptslearnt in other courses or from other places (internships, hobbies, work etc.) can inculcate a habitof connection-making. Some examples of such assignments are course projects “RelatingThermofluids to Life”20,21, informal presentations “Inspiration”22, 23, and embodied classwork.24
business sectors. The quality assurance inengineering education is a systematic project, facing a special internal and external policyenvironment. At present, engineering education accreditation has become the main qualityassurance mechanism for higher engineering education, and has promoted the formation oftwo major engineering education accreditation systems: Washington Accord (WA) andEuropean Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE). The globalengineering education accreditation presents the result-oriented, international connection,continuous improvement and industry-university cooperation trend [1]. Under this framework,colleges and universities in various countries and regions have tried to explore the path ofquality

Projector: The pico-projector runs on an Android OS and uses the Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology invented by Texas Instruments for projection. The pico- projector has an internal battery which can be charged through the external battery. This battery can run the projector for approximately 2.5 hours at 130 lumens of brightness. D.

After reviewing the yearly data set (i.e., survey results, journal entries,observations, and interview transcripts), the assessment team developed a set of open codes toidentify key aspects of meaningful learning experiences as elaborated by all students each year.This paper is based on the complied collection of the five years’ evaluation reports and a furtherretrospective analysis of some thematic findings noted in those reports.

OverviewThe overall goal of this three year project is to increase awareness and preparedness of rural andindigenous youth to pursue engineering and engineering-related careers. To reach this goal, weare working with elementary pre and in-service teachers in rural and reservation communities touse ethnographic methods to connect local funds of knowledge with classroom curriculum. Morespecifically, the first phase (current phase) is on training participating teachers, whereas thesecond phase will be on supporting their implementation of the engineering curricula. This paperdescribes the first summer professional development, which focused on two items: (1) trainingelementary teachers and pre-service teachers in ethnographic methods and photo

Finally, the survey alsoyielded valuable suggestions from students to promote a diverse, equitable, and inclusive academic andsocial environment at the university. The findings from this study also support the idea that students withdifferent ethnic and social identities can have different views and experiences regarding diversity, inclusion,and equity in their campus.
