. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Setting Student Safety Knowledge to PracticeAbstractIn a senior-year unit operations laboratory, students study the fundamental principles andpractical applications of Chemical Engineering through hands-on experiences. The injection ofsafety issues at multiple formative and summative evaluation points has been established topromote meaningful hands-on experiences with safety topics and is presented as a teachingtechnique for others to leverage. This paper describes how resources from the Chemical SafetyBoard (CSB), the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AICHE) and the University’sEH&S program are interwoven into classroom discussions at the onset of the semester

Overthe last few years, there has been an increase in the number of seniors taking this class over theBiochemical Engineering course with nearly seventy students in the latest semester. In the pastdecade, undergraduate polymer processing courses have emerged across multiple engineeringdisciplines worldwide.1-3 Within these courses, very little development in promoting computersimulations have been discussed. Moreover, this work shows that students can benefit bycombining computational tools with hands-on laboratory exercises and that existing courses canreadily implement the strategies utilized in the Composite Materials Processing course.The class consists of
