The chemical engineering projects laboratory pursues the fulfilmentof learning objectives that aid students in the acquisition of the skills necessary to theprofessional practice of chemical engineering. The course structure, objectives, experiments,assignments, and manuals have been formatted to promote collaboration, potentiate technicaldiscussions, and help students gain teaming skills. To further facilitate the accomplishment of thecourse objectives and promote the practice of teamwork, all activities, experiments, andassignments are completed in student teams.

, students in the School of Engineering often don’t recognize the importance ofthe liberal arts in their personal and professional development and formation. We wanted to createa more direct link between their Core and engineering curricula. In this case, we have started byfocusing on writing, but we are continuing this work to help our students see the value in the restof their general education.The project focused on the first-semester course required of all students in the Donald P. ShileySchool of Engineering. Students typically take EGR 110 in the fall of their first year (which meansthat most have not yet taken the introductory-level Core writing courses).

Engineering Ethics for First Year Engineering StudentsThis Work-in-Progress paper stems from an NSF-sponsored project in which a series of game-based activities have been developed for the purpose of enhancing instruction in engineeringethics. These activities have been integrated into first year engineering courses on severalcampuses. One of these activities is called Toxic Workplaces. In gameplay, the students arepresented with scenarios that involve ethical dilemmas. Each scenario comes with severalpossible responses. The game involves the student/player attempting to rank these possibleresponses in order of popularity. Thus, players do not necessarily need to take a position on whatthey themselves would do, but rather are attempting to match the

However, the culture of engineering in higher education has been describedas a culture where engineering students experience higher stress, diminished mental health, andlower retention rates when compared to students in other disciplines [1-3]. This culture of stressis detrimental to mental health and wellness and is thus a critical space for change efforts. Toaddress this challenge, this project seeks to answer the following question: How can wedismantle a culture of high stress in engineering and instead foster a culture that promoteswellness?To answer this question, the presented project uses a mixed-methods approach to examine thetime-evolution of engineering stress culture, educators' perceptions of the

It is welldocumented that effective teamwork can facilitate career progression, often leads to moreinnovative solutions, and has the potential to increase job satisfaction. Throughout theirundergraduate education, students are tasked with team-based projects to provide this requiredexperience, however they are rarely provided with the skills to be a successful team member andleader. Ambrose et al. [3] highlight that in addition to content knowledge, teamwork furtherrequires higher-order qualitative skills such as task delegation, conflict resolution, and contentsynthesis. Furthermore, research shows that stereotypes and biases towards women and studentsof color can
