has threaded design challenges throughout the chemical engineering core curriculum to relate real-world Community-, Industry-, Research-, and Entrepreneurship-based projects to fundamental course work. Faculty, graduate students, and dozens of chemical engineering students have developed, implemented, and refined these design challenges which stretch through the core curriculum from the first year to some graduate-level electives courses. Our goal with implementing these varied design challenges is to allow a diverse set of students the opportunity to see the numerous applications of chemical engineering to local and globally-relevant problems [1], and to help them develop the engineering skills and confidence which will

An innovation in this particular grant was the creationof a research collaboration between faculty and students at Lafayette and an NSF-fundedEngineering Research Center (ERC). As stated on the NSF website, “The goal of the ERCProgram is to integrate engineering research and education with technological innovation totransform national prosperity, health, and security.” To accomplish this goal, collaborationsbetween ERCs and other institutions are inherent in the work of an ERC; however, researchcollaborations between ERCs and small
