further study.Keywords: Undergraduate, Gender, Race/Ethnicity, EngineeringIntroductionIn an effort to address this issue of persistence for undergraduate students majoring inengineering and taking general chemistry, typically one of the pre-requisite courses taken duringthe first two-years on campus, we have developed a career-forward laboratory curriculum that isdesigned to support persistence. A career-forward curriculum targets the long-term goal ofpersistence—the personal capacity of students to continue towards an academic goal—byframing experiences with the content, context and specific skills of working in the target careerfield. Created as an extension of an earlier reform of the recitation component of chemistrycourses [1], this
