All ofdepartments offer some type of first year seminar, and these instructors were contacted and askedto advertise the program. We supplied a sample email they could send out, as well as a slide ortwo in case they wanted to make an announcement in class. Additionally, we asked all of thedepartment chairs to include an announcement in department emails that are routinely sent out totheir students.I also identified physics instructors teaching the introductory sequence and asked them toadvertise the program.

reluctant to accept drastic changes. Theseinstructors will furthermore be right to urge caution. If change is slower or less sweeping thanexpected, graduates must still have the skills to find jobs in engineering. Even if the change is asfast and sweeping as expected, graduates must understand the nature of the problem and thenature of the solution – in particular, what might go wrong, how sensitive the solution is tovarious assumptions, and how they might change the problem statement to make the solutionmore robust.However, the curricula can be nudged to give greater emphasis to features that already existwithin engineering, such as project management.

exercises, a hands-on project, career fair information, a labtour, presentations from faculty and upper-level students about upcoming classes, the curriculum,and internship opportunities, and some recreational games. The camp and its activities aredescribed in detail in previous publications [16,17]. The workshop allows students to learn moreabout chemical engineering generally and upcoming courses in the curriculum, and also serves asan opportunity for them to meet peers and interact with upper-level students and faculty.Data CollectionStudents attending the ChemE Camp are given written surveys to complete at the very start ofthe workshop (“Pre-Camp” surveys).
