Perspectives on Chemical Engineering EducationAbstractThis study investigated faculty perceptions and needs salient to the future of the journalChemical Engineering Education (CEE). Specifically, we sought to understand (a) how facultyuse CEE and what they value about it; (b) barriers and improvements to publication and use; and(c) perceptions of the “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Consideration Requirement,” whichbegan in 2021. To guide this work, we posed the following research questions: 1) What is theperceived utility of CEE? How do faculty use CEE? What do they value about the journal?; 2)What are the opportunities for improvement? What barriers preclude publication and use?; and3) What are the perceptions of the “Diversity, Equity, and
