At a high level, case studiesacross Botswana (Tabulawa, 2003), South Africa (Harley et. al, 2000; Nykiel-Herbet 2004), andTanzania (Vavrus, 2009) highlight four salient barriers to curricular change: 2 1. Educators’ training on and personal experiences in learner-centered approaches is often limited (Coultas and Lewin, 2002; Schweisfurth, 2015); 2. A lack of available resources in physical learning environments can inhibit implementation of learner-centered approaches (Schweisfurth, 2015) 3. Cultural expectations at the institutional and national level (eg., appropriate educator

In engineering education, involvement of UGTAs in first-year design courses hashad positive outcomes, and the use of undergraduate teaching assistant programs continues togrow [2, 3].

For example, in recentengineering education literature, narrative methods have been used to explore subjects like howand why students choose to study engineering [1], the emotional trajectories of engineeringstudents [2], learner agency in intercultural project based learning environments [3], and theinfluence of race and gender in engineering education in the US [4]. Narrative inquiry has twodistinct advantages compared to other research techniques. First, it capitalizes on humans' naturalinclination to think and share their experiences in the form of stories, thus making data

Undergraduate introductory courses cover a wide variety of fundamental topics such aselectrical circuits, electronics, logic design, computer programming, statics and dynamics, materialscience, biomedical and industrial systems, etc. Students in their first-year face challenges due toseveral factors related to the transition from high school to college. Although there are resourcesavailable for high school graduates to explore the campus such as open-house, freshmenorientations, and advisor meetings, students struggle with the thought of a college environmentand higher expectations.

INTRODUCTION With rapid technological advancements, computer scientists are needed more than ever tosupport our nation’s economy and global competitiveness. However, approximately 59% ofcollege students in computer science (CS) programs drop out [1]. Many efforts have been madeto reduce this rate [e.g., 2, 3]. One area of research that has been examined to reduce this highattrition rate is CS course and curricula design [4, 5, 6]. Investigating the CS undergraduateprogram is important for finding strategic ways to improve student learning and motivation tocontinue in the CS

However, as the term has become more popularized and mainstream, definitions ofintersectionality – and what it means to do (or not do) “intersectional” research – have shiftedover time [2]. Since its first use in engineering education literature in 2009 [3], intersectionalityhas gained steadily increasing prevalence in engineering education research, highlighting theneed to unpack its definitions, meanings, operationalization, and utilization within the context ofengineering education.

To keep up with the ever-evolving society, global engineers mustwork on cross-cutting issues and bring a diverse mindset to work nimbly across differentenvironments with changing resources [1,2]. This adaptability requires being comfortable withdesign skills and being open to new ideas and international relations [3].

abilities are inherent and can not be improved [1].Having a growth mindset is crucial for successfully designing and implementing a process as achemical engineer. Innovative design is iterative, requiring continuous learning and improvementas well as consistent effort after setbacks without succumbing to self-doubt, which are thehallmarks of a growth mindset. Interestingly, the standard chemical engineering curriculum, ingeneral, does not have any built-in initiatives to develop a growth mindset in undergraduatestudents. Therefore, we decided to address this gap as part of curriculum improvement in theDepartment of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (ChemBE) at Johns Hopkins University. Mass and energy balance is generally the first core
