go beyond the effort of asingle faculty teaching the same lecture course. This choice could conceivably add a small butindeterminable overestimation of faculty teaching loads.If a professor taught multiple sections of the same class, the faculty was attributed credit for theclass multiple times. In contrast, faculty who taught multiple laboratory sections were onlygiven credit for one section. It was found that some departments offer many laboratory sectionsattributable to multiple faculty members, where it’s unclear how workload is divided. So, if eachlab teaching professor was given credit for each lab course they would have a significantlyhigher credit count than their lecturing peers. These choices could respectively overestimate

The most common approach has been to incorporatelearning modules on ethics in the context of process safety [5]. The way in which process safetyis taught to students depends on the department (and university), with some schools having adedicated process safety course while others teach it as part of the senior design course. Teachingstudents about the concepts of ethical decision making in the context of process safety makes sensefrom an educational perspective, in part, due to the ongoing efforts to instill a culture of safety inall young chemical engineers [5].
