essential steps involved in producing a biochemical product.IntroductionThe integration of a biochemical and biomanufacturing track into the Unit Operations ofChemical Engineering II course (CHE4402) at WPI addresses the growing demand for chemicalengineers in the biological and pharmaceutical industries. As these industries continue to expand,they require professionals with specialized knowledge of biological processes and bioreactorsystems. Hiring data published by the career development center at WPI [2], showed that 30% ofchemical engineering B.S. graduates from 2020–2023 secured positions in the bio-related sector,compared to only two graduates who joined traditional petrochemical employers.The bio track is being introduced in two phases: The

In contrast,the industry’s performance in implementing equity was perceived as only moderate, with anaverage rating of 3.27 out of 5. This highlights a gap between the perceived importance of equityand its practical integration within the industry.Students showed the greatest interest in learning about the relationship between equity andsustainability (52%) and equity in sustainability rating systems (51%).

Self-directed learning requires metacognitive skills, an ability to control one’s learning. Such skillscan be taught [4] and need to be developed throughout undergraduate studies, including inengineering, for successful academic experiences in college [5] and careers [6].Reflection can encourage students to think critically about their own learning, behaviors, andexperiences in ways that lead to personal growth (e.g., [7]), improved academic performance(e.g., [8]), and professional identity (e.g., [9], [10]).

Neurodivergent characteristics, such asattention to detail, creativity, and pattern recognition, align well with careers in STEM (Science,Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), yet retention of neurodivergent students withinengineering programs is lower than neurotypical students [1]. Neurodivergent students whograduate or attempt to enter the workforce in a STEM discipline face bias and decreased successrates in job attainment after graduation [2].
