Teachers running a module for a second or thirdtime are more likely to involve a full class, rather than a section of their class. It is worth notingthat the retention rate for CT CLICKs teachers (those who have continued and/or plan tocontinue in the future) is currently 90%.Furthermore, in the face of the pandemic, CT CLICKs became one of the only options forproviding robust global skillsets

Because engineering education provides graduates with complex problem solvingskills and reasoning ability in addition to their discipline-specific knowledge, these individualshave a wide range of possible careers. Many engineering students do not limit their post-graduation plans to an engineering job, and a quarter of them never planned to enter anengineering career [3]. For example, some graduates feel that a non-STEM occupation fits betterwith their professional and personal values, goals, and interests and willingly choose a non-STEM career [4].

Some codes reflect students’attitudes and beliefs, such as career goals or plans; challenges they faced when doing research;and aspects of mentoring or supervision. Other codes reflect aspects of students’ experiences,such as recognition, failure, gaining skills, or feeling a sense of gratification. These codes will beparticularly important for Phase III of this project, in which we will identify ways to transfer ourfindings to instructional practice

The project plan is to develop and promote the use of a cyber-enabledinfrastructure for conceptual questions, the AIChE Concept Warehouse, which ultimately couldbe used throughout the core ChE curriculum (Material and Energy Balances, Thermodynamics,Transport Phenomena, Kinetics and Reactor Design, and Materials Science). Conceptualquestions, both as Concept Inventories and ConcepTests, will be available through an interactivewebsite maintained through the Education Division of the American Institute of ChemicalEngineers (AIChE), the discipline’s major professional society. The overall objective is to lowerthe activation barrier for using
