courseAbstractRecent years have shown increased success in the use of undergraduate students as teachingassistants or supplemental instructors in core chemical engineering courses. While typicallyutilized in traditional lecture-based courses, there is significant promise in utilizingundergraduate students as a peer resource in a lab-based course. This paper summarizes howundergraduate teaching assistants, referred to at Louisiana State University as coaches, wereintegrated into a junior level lecture/laboratory course. The course is designed to teachexperimental statistics in the lecture component (two days a week) with the students performingexperiments on three different unit operations (one day a week) for 3 four-week experimentalcycles. The main

still lacking in engineering is communication and professionaldevelopment courses. Whether students strive to be in industry or academia, effectivecommunication skills are highly sought after and often a requirement. As students transition fromundergraduate courses to graduate courses, the amount of writing and conveyance of data shiftsdrastically; however, even after twenty years, there still lacks the requirement for formalinstruction of these soft skills. Students have identified that writing is stressful and, thereforecould benefit from more formal instruction in scientific writing.10, 11Teaching Assistantship While formal instruction of professional development and communication is not requiredin many institutions, 36 out of the 100

able to survive in the program. We incorporated the intervention strategies in the regular course environment as part of theweekly group work participation, homework, midterm exams, and group research presentation.During the first week of the semester, we introduced the concept of growth mindset to thestudents. The students watched a talk by Dr. Carol Dweck, the psychologist who proposed themindset theory, and Khan Academy’s video on growing one’s intelligence through struggleduring the weekly group work. We encouraged the students to reflect on their own ideas aboutintelligence and the importance of having a growth mindset while studying chemicalengineering. The students then shared their thoughts with their peers. In Table 2, we

discoveries in the form of progress reports that aresubmitted to the industrial collaborators and federal funding agency sources at the end of eachsemester. The students also learn to use citation software and publish their work in peer-reviewed journals.As researchers, it is important to contribute to the literature on these new advances in arespective field. Conference presentations provide the students with the opportunity of presentingtheir data at various stages of development (preliminary findings, most up-to-date findings, andfuture directions). This allows them to gain constructive criticism from colleagues and polishtheir findings before final documentation. Furthermore, it allows the students to meet otherresearchers and learn the

followed by questionsfrom their peers and professors, along with an individual report submission. We saw in the datathat this aspect was most anticipated among all students, and many students in the traditionalcourse experienced a fulfilment of those expectations. One student wrote: “After lab, I feel much for comfortable presenting on a technical topic. I previously had little comfort with this because I had trouble explaining things in a way that people with limited background knowledge might understand.”Even among students whose initial response didn’t center on written or oral communication,many students in the traditional course chose to write about it at the end of the course. Forexample: Pre: “I expect to be able to design

There is a suggested capnumber of 36 students in the lab, resulting in a maximum of six students per team to cover thesix available experiments.

three-week rotations. Course sections are capped at 15students. The course descriptions and goals are generally similar for both semesters, but theycover different types of unit operations. The learning objectives for the fall semester are that bythe end of the course, students can: 1. Design chemical engineering experiments and create hypotheses 2. Operate chemical engineering tools, equipment, and instrumentation 3. Analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgement to draw conclusions 4. Write and present scientific information clearly to a range of audiences 5. Collaborate with peers and instructors and function as a part of a healthy, creative, and cohesive team 6. Identify safety hazards and preventative measures

Several participants expressed the value that CEE was auseful source of ideas for lessons, courses, and programs that faculty members can use ininstruction and share with colleagues. They also expressed the belief that the journal, as a peer-reviewed resource for content that is specific to the discipline, is used in practice, citing that, “itserves a really important role as both a research and a practice journal.” In addition, they
