Despite these broader options for engineering graduates,much research in engineering education is still focused on binary career paths of “Technical” and“Managerial” paths, as well as “Hybrid” or other career paths [2], [3], [4], [5], [6

Tenure significantly benefits the academic community and society by attractingand retaining talented faculty members, thus safeguarding teaching and research [2]. However,tenure has also been criticized for potentially allowing incompetent teachers to keep their jobs,negatively affecting faculty productivity, overstating concerns about academic freedom, andbeing costly and inefficient [3], [4].Fundamentally, the tenure process is perceived to be grounded in principles of meritocracy andobjectively measurable criteria based on demonstrated excellence in research, teaching, andservice-related activities [5].

example, numericalintegration is used to estimate velocity and displacement from accelerometer data, which iscrucial in fields like automotive crash testing. In crash testing, accelerometers captureacceleration during an impact. By integrating this data, engineers can calculate velocity anddisplacement to assess vehicle deformation and passenger movement, informing the design ofairbags, seatbelts, and crumple zones. Additionally, numerical differentiation allows for thecalculation of higher-order derivatives, including jerk, snap, crackle, pop, and lock (first to fifthderivatives of acceleration) [1]. Among these, jerk—the rate of change of acceleration—isparticularly important in crash safety. High jerk values indicate sudden changes in force

This challenge is especially pronounced in chemical engineering, wherecomplex problems frequently require the simultaneous application of multiple theoretical conceptsacross different domains such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and process control.In response to this educational challenge, we developed CHE CALCULATOR®, an Excel-basedcomputational tool designed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practicalapplication. The tool serves multiple pedagogical objectives: 1. Facilitating the integration of concepts across different chemical engineering courses 2.
