, and economic evaluation. It makes extensive use of software (i.e., Matlab, EXCEL) andsimulators (i.e., ASPEN). The course underscores the development of teamwork skills, providingsome limited additional training on team building and performance, and at least two weeklyhours of in-class teamwork with the assistance of the faculty. In addition, teams develop anoutreach project, most frequently a selection or combination of presentation on chemicalengineering topics (curriculum, career, and job experience) and hands-on experiments, deliveredto K-12 programs. The course assesses ABET Criterion 3 outcomes 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7. Recently,faculty have been advancing some initiatives to reinforce outcomes 2 and 4 [4].In 2021, one faculty teaching the

. Therefore, there an organic niche in Chemical ProcessControl to incorporate the EOP mindsets. In this work, the EOP concepts were introduced in the course Chemical Process Control forsenior students in their last semester. A team project was assigned to three students so that eachresearch team identified a project in which students applied the process control skills, such asfeedback loop and controller design, to solve real-world problems related to social andenvironmental sustainability. Each research team submitted a detailed project report. Ananonymous survey was given in class to collect students’ feedback through multiple-choicequestions on “how the EOP project helps students in learning process control” and “theeffectiveness of the project

been regularly available for many years [12]. Also, assessment andrubric design related to entrepreneurial mindset in class settings has also been previously studied[27]. For the workshop being detailed here, the surveys were created as a pre/post workshopreflection on familiarity with entrepreneurial mindset as well as if and what type of goals werewritten by participants. From a student chapter advisors perspective, creating and writing downspecific goals for a student chapter is generally an indication of an active and successful studentgroup for the next year. Alternatively, the perspective of embedding an entrepreneurial mindsetin students and chapter advisors necessitated survey questions at the remembering andunderstanding levels (i.e

] provide a rapidalternative for faculty to engage students in EML activities. EML micromoments are short andrapid implementations of in-class activities deployed to students in 2 – 30 minute intervals duringregular class times. These activities are shown under resources in the Engineering Unleashedplatform[4]. The micromoments are student-centered learning activities, where students solve agiven task for a short time, promoting students’ curiosity, connections, and value creation. Themicromoment initiative lists at least 25 potential micromoment activities[10] that instructors andfaculty members can use at any university. However, the micromoment list does not provideparticular examples related to engineering or chemical engineering concepts

, per design faculty member, at responding institutionsHow do the design faculty spend their time with their students? Regularly-scheduled contacthours in the capstone design course are nearly evenly split between content delivery (46%) andindependent student work (49%). The wide range of variability is indicated by the standarddeviation of 22% for both categories. The “other” category accounted for 6% of regularly-scheduled contact hours and included group meetings with instructor or mentor, studentpresentations, class discussion and tutorials, and exams.Outside of those regularly-scheduled contact hours, the capstone design experience instructorspends nearly half of the workweek on other aspects of the design course, as shown in Figure 7
