AC 2010-489: HOW WE TEACH: FRESHMAN INTRODUCTION TO CHEMICALENGINEERINGDavid Silverstein, University of Kentucky David L. Silverstein is the PJC Engineering Professor and an Associate Professor of Chemical & Materials Engineering at the University of Kentucky. He is assigned to the College of Engineering’s Extended Campus Programs at Paducah, Kentucky. Silverstein received his B.S.Ch.E. from the University of Alabama in 1992, his M.S. in Chemical Engineering from Vanderbilt University in 1994, and his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Vanderbilt in 1998. He is the 2007 recipient of the Raymond W. Fahien Award for Outstanding Teaching Effectiveness and Educational
Irving, Texas. His research interests are signal processing, information theory, and their applications to neuroengineer- ing and wireless communication and networks. Particular focus is on the interplay of communication systems and networks; including network coding, user cooperation, spectrum sharing, opportunistic ac- cess, and scheduling with different delay constraints as well as millimeter wave communications. In neuro-engineering, his interests are on modeling neuronal circuits connectivity and the impact of learning on connectivity, on real-time closed-loop stabilization of neuronal systems to mitigate disorders such as epilepsy, Parkinson, depression, and obesity, on developing an understanding of
enthusiastic individual with a passion for teaching and the ability to think outside the box. When Aaron became the head of the electronics program at St. Cloud Technical & Community College in 2009, the program’s existence was being threatened by very low enrollment. Since then, he has been the driving force for the success of the program and has played a major role in the development of other new programs at SCTCC. Aaron was instrumental in helping SCTCC partner with Xcel Energy in 2010 to develop the Nuclear Tech- nician Program. The program is designed to prepare graduates for work as Nuclear Plant Maintenance Technicians. The nuclear track is the newest addition to SCTCC’s current catalog of energy tracks: wind

The number and proportion of STEMdegrees earned by American Indian and Alaska Native students declined between 2011 and 2020along with their representation in the STEM field [12]. Between 2011 and 2021, the STEMworkforce experienced a 20% overall expansion, with notable increases of 31% for women and 2million for Hispanic workers [12].In 2019, immigrants constituted almost one-fourth of all STEM workers in the U.S., marking a17% increase since 2010 [13-14]. Most H-1B visas issued for STEM-related roles are issued tothose originating from India (28.9%) and China (10.9%) [13]. Of the top ten most representedbirth places of immigrant STEM workers, seven are within Asia (India
