feel solely through written communication so their team could correctlyidentify the liquid without ever seeing it.Reflection-based homework assignments were developed to obtain students’ perception of thesegame-based communication activities as prior research showed that use of these game-basedcommunication activities resulted in positive improvement in both students’ oral and writtencommunication skills. The coding scheme for the reflections was developed using a grounded,emergent qualitative analysis. The reflections were then content analyzed by two analysts. Aninter-rater reliability measure based on Cohen’s Kappa was calculated for each game-basedactivity. The inter-rater reliability for the “Professional Slide,” “ROYGBIV,” and

predominantly focused on White, male students who make up the majority of undergraduate engineering majors in the U.S. In 2018, 78.1% of engineering bachelor degrees were received by males, and 61.5% by White [17]. To fill the gap in the literature, we seek to include minority and underrepresented student experiences to expand the aggregated definitions for student success. These aggregated definitions of student success establish the desired outcome for scholars, administration, and presumably students, yet overlook what success means to students.4. Reflections of Success – Student Perspectives: While the above definitions may be useful as an aggregate measure for a large number of students, they do not capture the views

This concept wasfurther developed to include defining team and task, team climate, communication, and reflection(for a detailed description, please see Table 1)23-26.Design competence focused on finding and evaluating variants and recognizing and solvingcomplex design problems. These were further defined as having the ability to discover and designmultiple solutions to a given problem and to effectively evaluate those solutions to determine thebest solution, and having the ability to see the overall picture of a complex design problem, thenbreaking it into smaller, more manageable parts to solve while keeping the overall problem

discouraging motivations are competitive classroom environments andgrades [14]. While grades are an evaluation of student learning inferred by the instructor,students’ grades have been interpreted by students as a measure of success and achievement.Students with lower performance or grades, therefore, become less motivated and doubt theirabilities to be successful in the engineering program. Other educational factors reported asdiscouraging to students’ motivation were time commitment on course tasks and the quality ofteaching with large effects for female than male students [14]. Although grades reflect students’competence and indicate growing opportunities, how students interpret the grades to impact theirmotivation and persistence in

value professional skills.Because there is somewhat limited research in chemical engineering education related to theformation of professional skills, we also incorporate research from engineering education andeducation research more broadly. Specifically, we sought to build on research showing thatdiverse teams tend to be more creative; this strengths-based view of diversity aligned to ourparticular context and our efforts—as part of an NSF REvolutionizing engineering and computerscience Departments (RED) project—to better support diverse student success. We thereforeconjectured that providing students with an opportunity to reflect on their own and theirteammates strengths, and then to critically assess their team’s collective gaps would

educators.In addition to the struggles of engineering students to achieve conceptual understanding, recentengineering graduates’ grasp of written communication and associated skills is often below thatexpected by their anticipated positions in the modern workplace8. Pedagogical research hasfound that writing assignments effectively facilitate learning by forcing students to exploreconnections and patterns in the studied material9,10. These benefits of writing assignments areenhanced in fields such as engineering, since students are rarely assigned reflective writing tasksand thus have few opportunities to develop associated abilities11,12. Current conceptual testinginstruments in the chemical engineering field generally involve multiple choice

intensive course for our discipline, and the students satisfy this requirementby writing ten 500-word essays on a variety of design-related topics, including the ancillarytopics listed above. The student increase in understanding and incorporation of these ancillarytopics into their design is partially reflected in the upward-trending average score for the writingintensive assignments, which went from a mid-B (86) in the 2016 course offering to a high-B(89) or low-A (91) in the 2017 and 2018 course offerings.Figure 1.

, group C was assigned paper homework and group D wasassigned WeBWorK.On the day of the quiz, homework was collected at the start of the class period. To ensure thatquiz score would reflect the student’s understanding gained from the homework, both instructorsrefrained from answering any questions prior to and during the short 10-20 minute quiz(instructors could clarify problem statements but refrained from giving hints during the quiz).The quizzes were graded by a common third-party (neither instructor) grader under a specificcommon rubric. The grader had no previous knowledge of which test groups students belongedto during the grading of the quizzes. To verify the effects of either homework format on quizgrades, any quiz grades belonging to

also note that we did not assess student perceptions of techno-economic modeling. Researchsuggests that student perceptions are not reliable indicators of whether an intervention supportslearning [28]. However, we do note that students engaged deeply with the assignments, whichsuggests that students found them valuable. However, future studies can investigate specificaspects students found worthy to invest time. As a fairly authentic task, exploring how techno-economic modeling might support professional identity development would be of interest.We conclude with implications for other chemical engineering faculty by reflecting on classroomexperiences in this study. We have dived deeper in this challenge every year and students areengaged but

]. Collectively, our findings are in line with caring pedagogy research [39] thatreports increased motivation and learning outcomes on the part of students when they perceivefaculty as caring about them by getting to know students and providing constructive feedback[40]. This line of work suggests that part of why learner-centered instruction is effective is thatstudents increase in their engagement and see more opportunities to learn, such as from feedbackand from peers. Faculty who care and hold high-but-reachable expectations for students may seesimilar expectations and behaviors reflected by students.AcknowledgmentsThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.1623105.

. Thelab members all have experience conducting qualitative analysis. Members reviewed 25 samplesof student work on the DST, placing sticky notes on the tests where they noted a particular codeor saw something of interest. These initial ideas were turned into a coding scheme and applied tothe dataset, omitting codes that were not relevant to the research focus (e.g., design aesthetics) orthat were found to be redundant. This coding scheme was refined further at another research labmeeting; per recommendations for qualitative researchers, disagreements in coding werediscussed.66 The chemical engineers involved in the project reviewed the scheme and confirmedthat it was ecologically valid,67 meaning it authentically reflected their understanding of

point Chemical and Mechanical Engineering are the only two coreengineering discipline divisions that have committed to a diversity effort. It is our hope that thiswill change during the ‘year of action on diversity’.To quantify the prevalence of diversity-related efforts in engineering education, we did akeyword search for articles that appeared in the Journal of Engineering Education (JEE) and inthe European Journal of Engineering Education (EJEE). The number of relevant articles in thesejournals will reflect the diversity-related efforts happening in the United States (JEE) and Europe(EJEE). The keywords ‘diversity’, ‘women’, ‘minority’, and ‘gender’ were used as search termsfor homologous hits in article titles. Two other keywords commonly
