oflaptops in class in several ways. Students in Material and Energy Balances use them to workgroup problems in class that were too unwieldy previously. Students in Process Control can callup software from the campus network ( for example Tutsim ) for in-class demonstrationsbecause each seat in most classrooms can be connected to the Institute network. Students in ourStatistics elective course can also connect to software such as Minitab for in-class calculations.Student groups in Unit Operations Laboratory can perform data analysis and calculations whilein the laboratory. During the 1998-99 academic year all chemical engineering students hadChemCad IV design simulation software available for loading onto their laptops. ChemCadhas been used to

ABET’s EC2000 nowmakes this mandatory. This paper will address three approaches to incorporating process

engineering education, not much isunderstood about the interactional group dynamics that may lead to the success or failure ofgroup efforts. For example, how does group interaction help students master both content andapplication of engineering concepts? How exactly is peer teaching and learning accomplished in Page 4.210.1these groups? And how do social factors such as gender and interpersonal relationshipsinfluence teaching and learning in groups?In this study, we analyzed interactions among groups in the introductory chemical engineeringcourse (material and energy balances). This paper reports principal findings of the study andsuggests their
