Improving Student Preparedness For Entering The Workforce: A Hands-On Experience In Project Management For A Graduate-Level Protein Engineering Class, Nuttanit Pramounmat, Julie N. Renner
Faculty Scholarship
A hands-on polypeptide engineering experience that focuses on project management was developed and incorporated in a graduate-level course. The goal was to have doctoral students in chemical engineering learn about project planning tools, and experience what it might be like to plan and execute a project in industry or business. The motivation behind this goal was to help students best-utilize their technical skills in the private sector, where 42% of doctoral recipients in science and engineering work.

Analyzing The Function Of Cartilage Replacements: A Laboratory Activity To Teach High School Students Chemical And Tissue Engineering Concepts, Julie N. Renner
Faculty Scholarship
A cartilage tissue engineering laboratory activity was developed as part of the Exciting Discoveries for Girls in Engineering (EDGE) Summer Camp sponsored by the Women In Engineering Program (WIEP) at Purdue University. Our goal was to increase awareness of chemical engineering and tissue engineering in female high school students through a laboratory activity that incorporated a number of National Research Council learning objectives for science and engineering. This manuscript describes the context of the activity, detailed instructions to perform the activity, and a summary of the feedback. As a result of the activity, participants knew more about the chemical engineering …
