Example introductory slide illustrating complex organic structure of a drug tabletshowing active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and excipients.The active learning exercises and demonstrations can be used directly in a material and energybalance course or in a freshman engineering course. These educational materials conveyessential concepts in pharmaceutical terminology, drug delivery, and manufacturing within thecontext of a material and energy balance calculation. For example, one problem explores therole of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and excipients (binders, filler

community of learning within the discipline of chemical engineering (ChE) focused onconcept-based instruction. The project plan is to develop and promote the use of a cyber-enabledinfrastructure for conceptual questions, the AIChE Concept Warehouse, which ultimately couldbe used throughout the core ChE curriculum (Material and Energy Balances, Thermodynamics,Transport Phenomena, Kinetics and Reactor Design, and Materials Science). Conceptualquestions, both as Concept Inventories and ConcepTests, will be available through an interactivewebsite maintained through the Education Division of the American Institute of ChemicalEngineers (AIChE), the discipline’s major professional society. The overall objective is to lowerthe activation barrier for using
