 Collaboration  ReflectionSelf-Reflection AssignmentsThe self-evaluation rubric has been incorporated into a junior-level chemical engineeringundergraduate course through self-reflection assignments. Five times during the semester,students were given an essay prompt to identify one or more skills to work on in the followingtwo-week period (first essay) or one-month period (subsequent essays except the last). Studentswere asked to assess their current proficiency level in that skill according to the self-evaluationrubric, describe their goals related to the skill and their plan for improvement, and share progressin the skill(s) if any had been made since the previous essay. This process required the

This concept wasfurther developed to include defining team and task, team climate, communication, and reflection(for a detailed description, please see Table 1)23-26.Design competence focused on finding and evaluating variants and recognizing and solvingcomplex design problems. These were further defined as having the ability to discover and designmultiple solutions to a given problem and to effectively evaluate those solutions to determine thebest solution, and having the ability to see the overall picture of a complex design problem, thenbreaking it into smaller, more manageable parts to solve while keeping the overall problem

This recommendation was based on the I/O economic assessment, as well as on environmental and social measures. It was also made clear which process alternative(s) were viable, if any (Outcomes 1 and 4). f) The proposal was written in a logical format. There were minimal typos and formatting errors, the figures were clear and readable, and the references were cited correctly (Outcome 1).Students were assigned the prompt on the first day of class and were allowed eight weeks tocomplete the

. Inaddition, this experiment can be used to obtain thermodynamics data, specifically the enthalpy ofvaporization as well as a portion of the phase diagram for the chosen liquid.In the future I plan to work to improve this experiment. The first problem to explore is that theflask needs to be jostled to maintain boiling, likely due to the surface tension of methanol. Thismight be overcome by either using a shaker table or using a different fluid. In addition, it willlikely be beneficial for students to use addiitonal liquids so that they can build a “consensus” andbe even more convincing that boiling cold is not only possible but quite normal with a widevariety of applications.References[1] T.

The sameinstructor taught both cohorts from the same set of lecture notes, and students were required touse the same textbook [38]. Homework assignments were similar, simulation-based learningassignments were identical, and midterm exams were of approximately equivalent difficulty.The project assignment was intended to replace Cohort #1’s third midterm, and the content ofthese assessments is not expected to influence preparedness for the final exam. Importantly, bothcohorts completed identical final exams in equivalent testing conditions.Final Exam PerformanceThe
