engineering coursework, which often places great focus on workingequations computationally rather than actually understanding the material3,4. Traditionalengineering coursework often leaves students in a position where they can construct and solve aseries of equations to find a requested answer, but they do not understand “why” or even “whatthey just did”5. This is often evidenced on exams when students do not realize a computedanswer is incorrect by multiple orders of magnitude, and poor conceptual understanding such asthis has been observed in young engineers during their work in industry6,7. With this in mind,instruments which can effectively teach and evaluate engineering students’ conceptualunderstanding are key tools for engineering

engineering to show modest positive correlation between writing performance andexam performance in courses in thermodynamics and process control.3With the goals of increased practice and metacognition in mind, the SPIT approach has beenadapted in our university’s chemical process control course to replace traditional problem sets.Rather than complete a homework set, students instead work on a single problem a week, but arecharged to work with the problem in four different ways, following the same approach butreplacing the “Summarize” step with “Solving” the problem. Thus, students solve the problem,connect it to their personal experiences, integrate it with their chemical engineeringunderstanding from other courses, and finally propose a related
