senior-level two-part sequential unit operations laboratory course series (ECHM 442and ECHM 443), required for all chemical engineering majors. The ECHM 442 course consistsof eight 50 min lectures, covering the basics of report writing and a refresh on statistics. Thestudents, in groups of 2-4, perform two lab experiment rotations on a 4-week schedule. Theyhave one week to write an experimental plan prior to the experiment and two weeks to analyzedata and write a final technical report or executive memo following the experiment. The ECHM443 course consists of two 50 min lectures. The first is an introduction that covers course format,schedule and structure, while the second occurs later in the semester and provides instructorfeedback on

To avoid these barriers, which disproportionately affect students fromunderrepresented backgrounds [5], it is critical to help students understand their plans of studyand the rigor of these plans, and provide accessible support mechanisms early in the collegeexperience.In order to begin addressing these barriers to academic success and degree attainment, the CEprogram at Boise State conducted a review and subsequent remodel of its curriculum. Thisreview included input from faculty, current students, alumni, academic advisors, and theirIndustry Advisory Board. After these narratives were gathered, the faculty and a member of theadvising staff worked to address major negative themes such as a lack of a sense of

Fortunately, this teamhad prior knowledge and experiences relevant to this project. It helped this team make progressand complete the project at the end.

Infact, the author would do this very quickly and then feel the heat dissipated while it yields bytouching the stretched-out portion. Of course, the author had no idea about yielding at the time,but when trying to develop a demonstration for this concept, the author realized this habitrepresents a simple, but effective model to which many students can relate.For a demonstration in the classroom though, these plastic straws are a little small to observeand/or require some pre-planning to purchase so every student can have her/his own sample. Asan alternative, the author used the fact that yielding in plastic can
