problems thatmake them initially more doable; the modifications are then gradually removed aslearners gain more skills. The tool would, in addition, give students an opportunity forearly success in the material/energy balance class, leading to enhanced learning accordingto self-efficacy theory.13Unlike typical process simulation packages (HYSYS, ASPEN, PRO/II), in ChemProVthe development of the process flow diagram and the needed balance equations were leftentirely to the students and no numerical solution programming was provided. A numberof other educational software programs for material/energy balance classes have recentlyappeared, for example the offerings of Sapling Learning. These tend to be overlyprescriptive in the problem solving
