importance of individual preparationwhile acknowledging the value of collaborative problem-solving. To address this issue, professorscan introduce a system where students are given a limited number of opportunities (let's say twochances per semester) to participate in a "Fair Game" activity. In this activity, students can utilizethese chances for any problem or test they deem necessary. This way, they will only utilize theirchances when they truly need them, and the limited options will motivate each student toadequately prepare for the tests. By implementing this approach multiple times throughout thesemester, professors can ensure equal opportunities for all students. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2023

For thisreason, employers of chemical engineers expect chemical engineering students to acquire astrong background in chemical process safety during their undergraduate studies.Safety education in general and within chemical engineering specifically is an essential but ahistorically overlooked topic within chemical engineering education. Initiatives have beenimplemented within the chemical engineering community to enhance education on chemicalprocess safety.
