These efforts were driven by our graduate students with support from our faculty,and included the establishment of an Anti-Racism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ARDEI)Committee, collection of data through a climate survey to gauge the needs of the department’smembers, and creation of efforts to include anti-racism and social justice in the department’scurriculum and research [19].

All authors read all responses, documenting notes about trends, observations, and interesting aspects. A log was created to document researcher observations, questions, and actions. 2) Generating the Initial Codes: After familiarizing ourselves with the data, we assembled a list of initial codes. In generating codes, we considered statements we found striking, surprising, intriguing, and/or disturbing about the responses [9]. In some instances, the tone and wording of the responses helped to sort responses. For example

Thus,understanding how experiments in laboratory courses vary in offering students opportunities tomake such decisions, and how students navigate higher agency learning experiences is importantfor preparing graduates ready to direct these practices. In this study, we sought to answer thefollowing research question: What factors are measured by the Consequential Agency inLaboratory Experiments survey? To better understand student perceptions of their agency inrelation to laboratory experiments, developed an initial version of the Consequential Agency inLaboratory Experiments survey, following research-based survey development guidelines.

There was nearly a 50-point difference in the overall score in the initial concept mapgenerated when students had access to a "hands-on" activity with a physical device compared tostudents who did not have access to those tools at a different university in a different country. Werecognize that multiple differences exist, such as student profiles, class sizes, universities, andcountries and further work is needed to answer this question.Based on the results presented and the different interventions in two universities in two countries,we conclude that the micromoments directly impact students’ entrepreneurial mindset, as shownby concept maps and three

They noted this need especially for those at institutions where they feelisolated [12] and as a resource to mentor graduate students and postdocs, as well as for chemicalengineering graduate students to support their ability as TAs, and even to undergraduate studentsto support their journey as learners. Such activity could result in engaging potential engineeringeducation researchers earlier in their careers. In summary, they wondered what role CEE couldplay in leveraging our community to support one another and elevate the work.Participants

There are sustainability initiatives in place at other institutions to promote the recyclingand reutilization of plastics; however, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first reportdetailing the integration of sustainability concepts and experiments in a senior year chemicalengineering undergraduate laboratory.

This process was repeated for responses to the second custom course evaluationquestion listed above.Once these initial qualitative assessments were completed, the research team met to compare anddiscuss the themes emerging from each of their analyses of the data. From this discussion amaster code book was jointly produced which represents the themes present within thequalitative data.

Mason conducted 2 focus groups with staff andcollated some quantitative data from 11 students who completed a survey he had designed. Asummary of his findings revealed that: there was no shared understanding of EDI betweenstaff and students, EDI was not a natural part of the curriculum which was to prescriptive toaccommodate it, and students were negatively affected by the lack of EDI awareness.Following-on from deliberation and discussion of these findings with

teaching involves presenting students with a problemand then responding to student thinking as they work through it [3]. Problem-based learning,initially developed for medicine [4] but later adapted to other areas, including chemicalengineering [5], frames learning around problems, which students learn the material throughsolving. There are many reports on the effectiveness of these and other active learning pedagogies[6]-[9], but also reports of student resistance to active learning [10]-[14], which can lead to lowerstudent evaluations that may disincentivize instructors from adopting these practices. Oneimportant aspect of addressing this issue is attending to the affective responses of the playersinvolved to confusion.Previous research has
