forstudent and researcher process design projects. Using PPIs to adjust chemical prices provides anappropriate means to adjust older chemical prices to the present. In this study, PPIs were used toadjust four chemical prices over a 15-year period and assessed the results in terms of comparing toreported prices. The approach was moderately successful in that 90% of the PPI-adjusted priceswere within ±50% of reported values and 81% were within a 2003-2018 historical price range forthe chemicals studied. In addition to the comparisons of PPI-adjusted prices to reported values, thispaper offers a few items to consider if planning to use PPIs to adjust chemical prices. References1. Couper, J.R., 2003

[22]In that paper, there was no discussion on component integration; the authors stated that “The program evaluator (department head or program coordinator) then determines what learning outcomes are not being adequately achieved and provides adequate action plans to improve them.” Rahemi and Seth (2008)Another approach was that used by Hussain et al.

its functionality is surprisingly difficult and revealsthat novices struggle both to accurately read code and to extract meaning from that code [2].Xie and colleagues argue that programming should first teach students how to read/trace codeand then teach them how to comprehend common programming templates or plans [8]. Thesetemplates could be seen as being connected to the idea of beacons, where certain commoncoding patterns can help an expert more quickly identify the purpose or meaning of a line ofcode. Based on studies that have suggested that tracing skills may play an important role inhelping students read code [9], some have proposed that early code reading should focus onteaching students how to formally trace programs with promising

The work described in this current paper focuses on this intersectionbetween a change in pedagogy and students’ engineering identities.Recent research proposes both quantitative and qualitative ways to measure engineering identity.For example, Godwin developed a survey to measure engineering identity, with a focus on threeconstructs: recognition as an engineer, interest in engineering, and performance/competence inengineering [25]. Meyers et al. also used a survey to model engineering identity developmentemploying stage theory [26].

Students also completed a role play activity where they are asked to take on the role of stakeholdersin a project, such as community member, regulator, consultant, and engineer. Students then debated amining problem and discussed what their needs are. This activity takes a much more implicit approach toCSR. It emphasizes the importance of listening to stakeholders and recognizing their needs, however theterm CSR isn’t explicitly used. Similar role play exercises were used by Professors Edwards and Garcia asa way to teach ethics in their technical courses. Professor Edwards used a more implicit method ofstakeholder mapping, integrating it

The bulk ofthe planning work went into bridging the gap between the theory and the design, so most of thetime in developing this paper was spent in creating this guide.

When coupled with the demands of rigorous academic coursework and requirements, thisperiod of development can present significant psychological challenges. Indeed, mental healthconcerns have been increasing on college campuses, as students report more symptoms of stress,depression, and anxiety [2], [3]. This is concerning given the evidence of the link betweenmental health during college and students’ academic achievement, retention, work-ethic, andsocial well-being [1], [4]. Perhaps more alarming is the fact that suicide is the second-leadingcause of death on college campuses [1], [5].Seeking help from mental health professionals is one way

Pilot projects and localized programs have shown success in developing thiscapacity within teachers.

Leadership is important, but I think it's more important to align the students with who they are and the areas they're going into.Dr. Dan explained that not all students want to take leadership positions in their careers.

The worksheet problems are a single arc where studentsconstruct a solution/algorithm (computational thinking [20]), rather than work backward from anexisting solution. The pairs are randomly assigned each day. Pairs are chosen carefully by theinstructor to avoid towers of knowledge [41] and ensure zone of proximal development [42]–[44]. The worksheets are graded and worth 25% of an overall grade. Adjusting the plan for theday based on JiTT was a time intensive process that significantly increased prep time for theinstructor by one to two hours before each lecture, in addition to the large one-time cost
