[2]Utah Valley University (UVU) recently created a new mechanical engineering Bachelor ofScience degree program which has recently received full ABET accreditation. The originalprogram structure followed a very traditional curricular model with limited input from facultymembers, as the bulk of the faculty had not yet been hired at the time the program curriculumwas initially developed. As new faculty have been hired and begun teaching in the program,their knowledge, and experiences at past institutions as well as a desire to improve on thetraditional curriculum model has motivated the need

First, it offersengineering faculty a common understanding of communication. Second, through focusing onthose elements shared by all communicative performances – genre, context, identity, and purpose– it enables faculty to adapt their instructional approach in ways that acknowledge the diversityof possible performances while maintaining coherence. Third, it allows faculty to employ auseful methodology, discourse analysis, for doing assessment as educational research. This paperpresents communication as performance, offers discourse analysis as a methodology forresearching those performances, and suggests how

opportunities available tostudents in the IMSE Department because of constrained faculty resources [2]. One way toaddress this is to implement Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences, or CUREs.CUREs are incorporated into a curriculum, providing students with undergraduate researchexperience while taking courses that apply toward their degrees. In a typical CURE, thecurriculum includes required inquiry and investigation [20]. CUREs have benefits similar toURA experiences, such as improving students’ analytical and technical skills [2], [8], [14]. Theyallow students to use scientific practices, potentially develop something new, collaborate withgroup members and faculty, and participate in a broader scientific context [8], [20]. CUREs arethe

challenge to incorporating process simulation instructional activities into the chemicalengineering curriculum is the placement of said activities. Placed too early in the curriculum,one might worry that students become overly reliant on the software, failing to truly understandthe fundamentals of mass and energy balance calculations and of equipment rating/sizingcalculations. Placed too late in the curriculum, one might worry that students don’t haveextensive experience with the software to effectively use it as a tool in the senior design courses.Inclusion of process simulation only in the senior design courses also results in a lost opportunityfor students to connect calculations/results from process simulators directly to the
