. Page 14.79.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2009 A Novel Paradigm for Training Graduate Students in Soft SkillsABSTRACTMost chemical engineering programs which offer masters and PhD degrees have a commonseminar series for all the graduate students. Typical seminar series includes presenters withexpertise in cutting edge topics are invited. Chemical engineering is expanding and manyresearch topics could address only a portion of the students. Further, conducting seminars for theentire duration of the semester may be cost prohibitive, leading to reduction in number ofseminars. Interestingly, there are very few seminars that introduce graduate students to non-technical content that could be paramount to their future success

Peter Kilpatrick added a one unit fall course, Introduction to Research, aprofessional development course including research ethics, presentations, andpublications.

We plan on investigating the reasons for thisdrop in the future, but this trend certainly presents a matter of concern – especially since JEE isconsidered to be the premier engineering education journal within the United States and is alsohighly regarded internationally.The European engineering education community (based on papers published in EJEE) haspublished a larger number of papers on diversity-related topics in the years before 1995 – a littleover twice the number that was found within JEE.

More recently, in 2015, Dee et al. reviewed US Chemical Engineeringprograms and reported that these programs are using a variety of ways to meet the ABET safetycriteria including incorporating the content into core courses, adding special topics and/orrequiring students to complete the online SAChE Certificate Program [8, 9].

Further, they should understand how to accessadditional information generally not available on a SDS but important to process safety (e.g.,chemical compatibility of elastomers and metals used in the Chemical Process Industries).

Despite a continued general perception that comicsare ‘childish’, comics have a unique and demonstrated potential for improving student enthusiasm,confidence, and understanding in complex concepts.The use of comics directly addresses one of the major obstacles to effective learning in chemicalengineering education, in that many core concepts have an abstract nature with no obvious visualrepresentation (such as fugacity) or have such complexity that the visual depiction is crucial
