The survey was distributed via snowball sampling, withinitial distribution at the American Institute of Chemical Engineers’ annual meeting in 2022 andvia social media. Faculty response data was analyzed to identify trends across the three differentresponse types. Across the survey responses, there was agreement on the high level ofimportance of four learning outcomes: design experiment, compare to theory, analyze data, andcommunication. While the learning outcome of ethics was rated as significantly important for alaboratory course, many faculty did not include this in their ranking of the top five learningoutcomes or their open

. The results provide insight intothe prioritization of laboratory learning outcomes and allow the redesign of laboratory courses tobetter align with the skills and attributes desired from all three stakeholder groups.IntroductionOver the last decade, many surveys and studies have considered the future of chemicalengineering and its alignment with industry expectations [4], resulting in changes to ABETrequirements [5] (specifically towards process safety education [6] and ethics and socialresponsibility [7]). A larger picture of chemical engineering modernization was the focus of arecent National Academies report entitled “New Directions for Chemical Engineering”, whichexplored research and undergraduate educational program updates [8

]. However, thechallenges of transitioning laboratory experiments to these environments are still not wellunderstood. This is particularly true in chemical engineering, where replicating hands-onexperiences and ensuring safety and ethical considerations are especially critical [10]. Researchstudies in different contexts also suggest that these learning environments present severalchallenges, including replicating hands-on experiences [11], dealing with equipment limitations[12], [13], effectively assessing learning outcomes [14], adapting pedagogy to suit the onlineenvironment and ensuring safety and ethical considerations [15].Graphical characterization of pumps is critical to ensure optimal performance and compliance withtechnical and safety

Her research centers on affect theory and its application to technical communication, specifically information design. Jill studies how to enhance the effectiveness of pedagogical documents by incorporating principles from affect theory. Through her work, she aims to empower students, fostering an environment where they actively shape their communication interactions, including teamwork and ethical discussions. By integrating these principles, she goes beyond traditional methods
