Professor of Chemical Engineering at Oregon State University. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from UC San Diego and his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley, all in Chemical Engineering. He currently has research activity in areas related engineering education and is interested in integrating technology into effective educational practices and in promoting the use of higher-level cognitive skills in engineering problem solving. His research interests particularly focus on what prevents students from being able to integrate and extend the knowledge developed in specific courses in the core curriculum to the more complex, authentic problems and projects they face as professionals.

ARCE curriculum requires upper-division students to complete three structural design labcourses on steel, timber/masonry, and concrete. In each, students have a culminating projectwhere they assemble a complete calculation and drawing package for an assigned building; thesesubmittals often involve 2-3 students and hundreds of pages of documents. The ARCE 451faculty elected to grade student submittals in Bluebeam (a tool utilized in the industry review andpermitting process) to provide feedback to the students. Adopting this grading methodologymeant that hardcopy paper student submittals were replaced by PDF files containing drawingsand scans of hand calculations, which the students organized in Bluebeam and then uploaded toPolyLearn.Student

This was alsothe most highly ranked prior major for International women (41.7%) and White women (32.7%),as articulated in Table 4. This presents an opportunity to think about how computing can becombined with such fields or cover topics related to these areas.Increasingly, institutions are beginning to consider “CS+X” options, where X refers to anemphasis in another discipline, allowing for students to complete a core curriculum in computerscience while considering intersecting fields as well. At the University of Illinois, options rangefrom areas like “CS + Advertising,” “CS + Economics,” and “CS + Music” [35]. Apart from theemergence of

A noticeabledecline in the number of domestic graduate students pursuing engineering has occurred and just underhalf of those who are pursuing the doctorate are foreign nationals. But the drop in Americans engaging ingraduate studies in engineering is also being perceived by industry and by a growing proportion ofgraduate schools as a reflection of a lack of opportunity for lifelong learning and of an insufficiency ofU.S. graduate education to serve the full professional spectrum of engineering. This deficiency isaffecting U.S. competitiveness and the nation’s long-term capacity for innovation.

This can often be exacerbated for underrepresented students when compoundedwith existing structural and systematic issues such as the lack of visible professional role models,exposure and/or access to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), under-resourcedpublic schools and inadequate preparation to matriculate into a university-level engineeringprogram.

At the University of Kentucky, we offer an undergraduatecourse in the Chemical & Materials Engineering curriculum called "Heat and Mass Transfer".Recently, our department has been making a concerted effort to bring more experimentalapplications back into the classroom.

Factors such as student mental health and well-being and howthese were affected by student motivation during their first year were studied.
