Biology isbecoming an integral part of chemical engineering education, and biological courses are evenrequired in curricula for chemical engineering programs with the terms “biochemical” or“biomolecular” in their names [5]. While chemical engineering students are therefore beingexposed to more and more biology, it is unknown whether they have positive or negativeemotions towards biology. Indeed, from the authors’ own anecdotal experiences, chemicalengineering students do not seem to be overly positive or excited about biology. The goal of thisstudy was therefore to test the hypothesis that chemical engineering students
