While fossil energy will be used up in the future, converting solarenergy to electric energy provides one potential solution to sustain the growth of the worldpopulation. The batteries play an essential role in electric energy storage, especially for electricvehicles (e.g., Tesla EV). The switch from traditional energy resources to renewable energy bringschallenges and opportunities to chemical engineers who generally work in the oil & gas industry.To make students aware of these challenges and opportunities, a project was developed in thecourse of Chemical Process Control, which is the last required course taken by senior students inChemical and Biological

identityWith the evolution and expansion of the chemical industry, the gap between academia andindustry is broadened. The skills that the workforce expected from practicing engineers are nottaught in the typical chemical engineering undergraduate core curriculum. Students become lessengaged and less motivated by not seeing the applications of course content in their courses.Therefore, they struggle to identify with the field and develop skills necessary for the workplace.This NSF PFE: RIEF project aims to bridge the gap by implementing industry-relevantcontemporary problems into a sophomore chemical engineering course.The project’s main goal is to understand how the implementation impacts students’ engineeringidentity and self-efficacy development.

This required the instructor to make significant mid-coursecorrections to the syllabus and resulted in reduced student acceptance.The second time the course was offered the number of topics was reduced significantly.

The remainder of the paper will discuss the details oftopic and text selection, the structure of the course, and student acceptance and performance.The paper is organized into four remaining sections.

reaction rates within a detector volume. The definition of scalar flux as the rate at which particles enter a sphere, divided by the crosssectional area of the sphere, is useless as a concept for computation of the flux, and it makes noobvious connection to the reaction rate density. In nuclear reactor analysis, in shielding analysis,indeed in all applications of radiation, the scalar flux is required as a means to describe the particlepopulation in a manner suited to the computation of reaction rate densities. But reaction ratedensity is a volumetric concept, while the ICRU definition of flux emphasizes surfaces (of a sphere)and areas (cross section of a sphere).

First is the customization ofprogram content to the individual student. The second key is the assessment, recognition,and incorporation of the specialized nuclear training within the program curriculum. Thethird key is strict adherence to the objectives and outcomes of the academic program inwhich the student is enrolled as dictated through effective counseling and advising by theExcelsior College staff.
