Emily is a senior chemical engineering student at Northeastern University with a minor in biochemical engineering. She has been a chemistry tutor for freshman engineering students for the past three years. Miss Rachel Lauren Shapiro, Northeastern UniversityRachel Shapiro is a third year undergraduate student studying chemical engineering at Northeastern University. She has been involved in the Connections Chemistry Review program for the past 2 years. Rachel works in a chemical engineering lab on campus, has held a co-op position at Davol, Inc. and will be completing another co-op with Entrega Biosciences. Ms. Emma Kaeli, Northeastern UniversityEmma Kaeli is a second-year undergraduate student at Northeastern University, majoring in chemical engineering and pursuing a minor in mathematics. Outside of class, Kaeli works as a chemistry tutor and class grader, and she participates in undergraduate research in a materials science laboratory on campus. She also has held an engineering co-op position with Rogers Corporation's Innovation Center. Ms. Kristen Barbara Coletti, Georgia Institute of TechnologyKristen Coletti is recent graduate of Northeastern University. She received her BS in Chemical Engineering in 2014 and was involved in the Connections Chemistry Review program for over 5 years. Kristen is currently pursuing her Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech, while working full time as an engineer in the Edison Engineering Development Program at GE Power & Water.Dr. Paul A. DiMilla, Northeastern University Paul A. DiMilla is an Associate Academic Specialist in Chemistry & Chemical Biology and Chemical Engineering at Northeastern University. During his academic career at Carnegie Mellon University, Boston University, and Olin College he has been the recipient of the first Whitaker Young Investigator Award from the BMES, a Searle Scholar Award, and an Early Career Development Award from the NSF as well as a three-time recipient of the Omega Chi Epsilon Outstanding Faculty Award from the Northeastern Student Affiliate of AIChE. He also has led industrial R&D teams at Organogenesis Inc. and Polymerix Corporation developing tissue-engineered medical products and drug-generating biodegradable polymers, respectively, and has co-founded Automated Cell, Inc. In addition to being an inventor on 11 issued US patents, he has published the textbook General Chemistry for Engineers with Cognella Academic Publishing. Ms. Rachelle Reisberg, Northeastern University The Impact of Supplemental Instruction on the Performance of Male and Female Engineers in a Freshmen Chemistry Course AbstractThis study investigates the connection between the use of supplemental instruction (SI) by engineering students and their performance in a required first year general chemistry course. SI includes group and one-on-one peer tutoring as well as instructor and teaching assistant office hours. Previous research has shown that participation in SI correlates with higher course grades, more confidence in course material, greater ma...
