The afternoon chemical engineering exam is weightedtoward traditional chemical plant processes. Are all of these morning and afternoon topicscovered in most chemical engineering undergraduate programs? No. Do most chemicalengineers even take the exam? No; some schools require the exam for graduation, but chemicalengineers most often obtain jobs that do not require professional registration. Do most chemicalengineering seniors and recent graduates who take the FE exam pass? Yes.

Over its fifty-year history, educators and researchershave shown the ability to meaningfully engage students in a variety of STEM topics viaestablished ER tools and methods. To that end, it is necessary to survey this area of study inorder to understand what platforms and methods are currently used; and to investigate theirimpacts on students. This survey will show how embracing Educational Robotics can have apositive impact on students at the secondary education level.
