Effectively Engaging Students in an Introductory Chemical Engineering Course Kimberly H. Henthorn Chemical and Biological Engineering University of Missouri-RollaAbstractThe introductory chemical engineering course at the University of Missouri-Rolla (UMR),Material and Energy Balances, is designed to transform students into higher-thinking problemsolvers who can approach complex multi-step problems. Classes are typically comprised of firstsemester sophomores who have only been exposed to simple, routine calculations, and many findthe transition to solving open-ended or multi-step problems extremely challenging
