Engineering Undergraduate and Graduate Students: Results of a National SurveyAbstractThe new ABET EAC accreditation outcomes recognize the importance of educating studentsabout their ethical and professional responsibilities, and how these relate to the impact ofengineering in societal and environmental contexts. This research explored how the educators ofchemical engineering students viewed the sufficiency of education on ethics and societal impacts(ESI), as well as their own teaching practices for ESI. Two online surveys gathered feedbackfrom chemical engineering instructors, resulting in 107 respondents representing 76 institutions.A large percentage of the chemical engineering respondents felt that undergraduate educationwas deficient on

The goal was to provideinstruction that was not being covered in the core curriculum that would be helpful for studentsin their future careers. This course was offered twice as a split-level elective course withundergraduate and graduate students. Topics included characterization of particle size and shapedistributions, filtration, continuous and batch settling, cyclone and hydrocyclone design, particlesize reduction and enlargement, and crystallization. This course is novel in its inclusion ofcrystallization, ternary solid-liquid equilibrium phase diagrams, and

The mismatch in content (mathematics vs. chemical engineering) mayhave impacted perceptions of effectiveness as well as the engagement of the graduate students inclass.

In the first iterationsof the service learning implementation, Habitat for Humanity, the project partner, challengedstudents to design an affordable green home. Sustainability and green engineering were theunderlying themes of this project Emphasis was placed on researching and proposing viablealternative energy sources, techniques for energy and water conservation, and architecturalconsiderations to increase the overall efficiency of the home.End-of semester student surveys indicated that the students desired a more refined project to helpfocus their efforts in a semester’s time. One of the energy saving proposals of the Habitat forHumanity project was

Thus, essentially all of theeffort required to collect program assessment data is integrated into the routine task ofgrading.Overall Approach to Assessing Measurable OutcomesBecause program outcomes speak to the capabilities of graduates, the Rowan UniversityChemical Engineering department has settled on an assessment strategy that focuses onthe two courses in the curriculum that best reflect real engineering practice: Chemical Plant Design- This is the program’s capstone design experience.

. The interviews lasted an average of 45 minutes and ranged from about 20 minutes to1hr 15 minutes. Students were asked a series of questions about themselves and their reactions tothe program. Such information is useful in determining successful research program designs, andcan be applied to future summer research programs. Overall, the main factor in ensuring thestudent has a positive summer research experience is their relationship with their mentors. Thosewho had helpful, involved mentors or graduate student mentors had better experiences than thosewho did not. Although interactions with fellow students were important to them, the formalsocial events were not beneficial, and were frequently completely unattended. Students muchpreferred the
