Designing Structured Courses for ChemE Student Success

When it comes to teaching chemical engineering courses, business as usual doesn’t cut it any longer. Evidence-based course-design strategies can improve student outcomes, thus increasing their career readiness.

Chemical Engineering + Data Science: An Integrated Degree for the Age of AI 

From mass balances to machine learning, a new ChemE+DS degree fuses chemical engineering and data science. Graduates will be equally comfortable running reactors and writing algorithms, making them standouts in the future workforce.

Communication as a Technical Skill 

Only a few undergraduate engineering classes, such as labs and design courses, teach communication skills. Technical courses must also emphasize that communication is critical to being a successful engineer. 

Integrating Sustainability Education in Chemical Engineering 

A systematic approach to embedding sustainability principles throughout chemical engineering education equips graduates with the mindset and skills needed to address 21st-century environmental and social challenges.

An Ethics and Society Course for Engineering Undergraduates 

This comprehensive engineering ethics course is designed to help engineering undergraduates understand and navigate the social and ethical issues they will face in their professional careers.
