Addressing the Importance of STEM to Public Science Communication in Engineering Formation: An Analysis of an Educational Innovation for an Upper-Level Chemical Engineering Health and Safety Course
Chemical Engineering Education, v59 n1 p34-49 2025
STEM-to-public science communication is recognized as an important skill, but a pedagogical framework for teaching these skills is lacking. Collaborating with safety and science communication experts, an intervention was developed in a health and safety course for chemical engineering students. Students attended three science communication workshops and conducted a mock town hall based on briefs from historical chemical incidents. Initial and follow-up surveys show that students' self-efficacy around these skills improved following the intervention.
