Perspectives on Chemical Engineering EducationAbstractThis study investigated faculty perceptions and needs salient to the future of the journalChemical Engineering Education (CEE). Specifically, we sought to understand (a) how facultyuse CEE and what they value about it; (b) barriers and improvements to publication and use; and(c) perceptions of the “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Consideration Requirement,” whichbegan in 2021. To guide this work, we posed the following research questions: 1) What is theperceived utility of CEE? How do faculty use CEE? What do they value about the journal?; 2)What are the opportunities for improvement? What barriers preclude publication and use?; and3) What are the perceptions of the “Diversity, Equity, and

seventeen students in our initialscholar class. The support provided through the Catalyst program helped these students achievean average "B" grade in that mathematics class in comparison to a "C" average for allengineering students in the course.Two students have not been retained in the college: one left OU for personal reasons, andanother has left engineering. The remaining fifteen of the seventeen students have maintainedgood academic standing in the college of engineering. This 88% first-year retention ratecompares quite favorably with the college average of 68%.It turns out that the flexibility to be responsive to student needs contributed to a perception thatthe Engineering Catalyst class was not a "real" class.

was impactful for many people. It really could be separate, though it wouldn't really be a “MIDFIELD” workshop. Maybe having people come in with a graph from their work and think about how the things Richard talked about could be used to make the graph better would be an alternative to the second R script session. • I think this was effective online. Some discussion might have been easier in person, but having access to chat is really nice b/c it allows you to ask questions/comment without interrupting the speaker. • And chocolate would be nice.Feedback from this evaluation will be used to improve subsequent offerings.Dissemination and ProductsNote that materials from the MIDFIELD Institute are available
