The most recentChESS took place July 25-29, 2022 at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, CO, witharound 160 participants and 80 presenters. The two core outcomes for the Summer School are1) to build the Chemical Engineering education community and 2) to provide useful knowledgeand tools for teaching, scholarship, and service for those early in their careers.A typical

Of these, 8 students attended most or all classes in-person, 2 attended mostclasses via Zoom, 1 attended most classes via video, and 1 attended via a mixture of formats. The7 students who reported working during the semester worked an average of 18 hours per week.Two students reported being caregivers.

Specifically inthe Native American community, their expertise and a view on a variety of complex problems isneeded to form new ideas [2].Cross-institutional barriers, lack of connectivity, work and family responsibilities, and loyalty tocommunity of origin discourage participation on problem solving teams and contribute to thefailure of forming interconnected services [3]. In fact, only 17% of Native American studentscontinue their education after high school, which is significant when compared to the rest of theUS population at a rate of 60% [4], [5], [6].

Two researchquestions were constructed to guide this study: (1) How are SRC and SRM strategies related toeach other while solving EM problems?; and (2) How do students perceive their SRC and SRMstrategies for problem-solving activities in EM courses?Two 2nd year EM courses, Engineering Statics and Ordinary Differential Equations, werepurposefully selected as the contexts of the

In the absence of suchfacilities, communities that reside in isolated areas encounter water scarcity affecting drinking,sanitation, farming, and other needs. These issues can economically be solved by employing ahydraulic ram pump, which does not require electricity to function as they are powered by thewater source itself resulting in a negligible operational cost. The goal of this study was to modifythe design of an existing ram pump to improve its overall performance. A ram pump setup wasbuilt using various materials including valves, PVC pipe and connectors, and digital pressuregauges [3]. Many modifications are implemented to improve efficiency [3-5].

The modules focused on how to act and how to respond to promote psychological safety on design projects. Each module was tailored to a different phase of the design process. The themes of the three modules are (1) treating every idea as having potential to contribute to a positive outcome, (2) questioning an idea to obtain valuable insight, and (3) applying the brake to improve a decision. To explore the impact of the modules, we deployed a post-course survey to measure students’ perceptions of psychological safety on their project teams.
