Whileunderstanding the deeper culture of a department is essential for long-term transformation, theclimate - the immediate perceptions and environment - offers opportunities for more immediateimpact. Climate reflects how individuals perceive the culture and influences how they feel aboutbeing part of the community. Research shows that climate is a primary driver for why studentsleave engineering.[5-7] People begin forming opinions about a department’s culture even beforejoining, based on how they are welcomed and the tone of everyday interactions. Each of thesemoments represents an opportunity to positively influence the climate and, by extension,perceptions of the culture. Faculty are uniquely positioned to influence this

Within this representation,the number of credits for each course is reflected by the node size. The course level graph abstraction can allow for the scheduling of one’s term and visualizing howcourses interact with one another. However, these dependencies rely on the accuracy of the prerequisiteswhich could have been established years prior and the courses and, more broadly, the curriculum couldhave changed since. For example, students may be encouraged by their adviser to take ABC 103 and ABC104 in the same term. From the graph abstraction, this need is not clear perhaps because ABC 103

While recall of prior coursematerial can improve retention, students can struggle to connect and apply lessons learned yearsago to their present day, leading to higher levels of stress, frustration, and impeded learning [5],[6], [7], [8].The theory of social constructivism contrasts with this existing learning structure as it argues thatlearning is not a passive process of information absorption but rather an active process ofcollaboration and reflection [9]. Through this framework, the traditional curriculum structure canlead to student demotivation by passively teaching chemical engineering knowledge and skillsfirst and reserving the challenge of application for after these skills are gained [10].
