Common problemsencountered by Unit Ops Lab managers include: • Staff members responsible for repair and maintenance of equipment may not be chemical engineers, so they may not be familiar with chemical engineering design calculations. • In some programs, there may be no chemical engineering faculty member assigned full-time to the Unit Ops course. In others, assigned faculty members may not be provided with the time or resources needed to design and construct new equipment. • Turn-key instructional equipment offered by third parties may be prohibitively expensive, may not target the intended learning objectives, or may not be suited to the

Not surprisingly, most engineering education interventions reported in the literaturetarget first-year engineering women and first-generation/low-income students to increase theirSB and engineering identity. Some intervention examples to retain this population of studentsinclude faculty and peer-mentoring, participation in internships with local STEM companies[21], interviewing a person of color in STEM [22], use of makerspaces for completing designprojects [23], summer bridge programs [24], first-year engineering student success course [25],and sociotechnical design projects

Adrug delivery course co-taught by professors in chemical engineering, biochemistry andpharmacy could help students understand the transport, chemical/biological composition, andbioavailability of drug delivery systems by professionals in these topics. Another key discrepancy is that graduate students are often asked to become experts in“one manageable problem.”13 There could be a benefit to requiring students to work on at leastone unrelated project to expand their knowledge base and
