The course runs on a pilot basis.“Introduction to Chemical Engineering,” runs as a seminar type course for one hour every week.The objectives are to expose students to various aspects of chemical engineering in general andcareer paths in particular, and to ensure that the students form a real connection with thedepartment right from the early phases of their college life.Each week the students meet with either faculty members or alumni (both recent and well-established graduates) to discuss topics varying from the department history and administrativestructure to careers in the pharmaceutical industry and independent consulting

AssessmentAs part of our ongoing program assessment process, alumni are surveyed to determine theimpact of their academic engineering experience on their professional careers. Alumni who havegraduated from two to six years ago are asked to rate Baylor’s role in meeting twelve differentengineering program objectives based on their cumulative job experience. Of the twelveprogram objectives, eight are stated objectives of senior design. 1. An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering. 2. An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as analyze and interpret data. 3. An ability to design a system

The primary focus in engineering education as well as other STEM fields has been toimprove the curriculum and pedagogy of faculty. STEM educators adopted this focus largely inresponse to Seymour and Hewitt’s seminal work studying students who depart from the STEMdisciplines. Noting that leavers do not differ significantly in terms of academic achievement orpreparedness, their findings indicate that students leave the STEM disciplines primarily due tothe content-laden curriculum, the inadequate and uninteresting instruction, and an overalldisinterest in STEM careers.5 As a result, engineering has invested

professionals doubtless learn a great deal about each other’s professionsover the course of a career. There is however, a clear disconnect between the two groupsin their training. Engineering students are not exposed to the history of their disciple andindeed are relatively rarely exposed to real structures either in the classroom or on sitevisits. A traditional engineering education focuses on technical skill building and onlearning to solve specific, bounded, and isolated problems in a series of early courseswhereas synthesis of those skills to solve a complex design problem usually comes late inthe undergraduate student career. The engineering teaching paradigm divides complexproblems into many pieces which students are then taught to solve
