They will then design and test in-class activities to promote knowledge transfer, assessing student...
This $199,640 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering Education and Centers Division under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) will fund the Agency in Chemical Engineering Experiments (ACEE) project. The ACEE project will investigate how differing levels of student agency during laboratory experiments impact learning and professional development for chemical engineers. Specifically, the project will examine upper-division undergraduate chemical engineering laboratory courses at the University of New Mexico and Montana State University to evaluate student agency opportunities in experimental design, oversight, data analysis, and communication. Student perceptions of agency and engineering identity will be measured via surveys. Insights gained will help inform best practices for laboratory course design to better support student problem-solving and communication skill development for professional engineering careers. Project outcomes are expected to provide a more nuanced understanding of how agency contributes to the learning and identity formation processes critical to engineering education.
