led to multimediacourse resources supplanting paper books for some engineering courses. Additionally, very littleinformation is available to answer a fundamental question about a textbook’s utility or necessity,namely how many students read their textbooks for engineering courses or any college course?Over more than four decades research shows a majority of students ignore textbook reading [1-6].For example, one study used pop quizzes to measure reading compliance and observed decreasefrom 80% in the early 1980s to about 20% between 1993 and 1997, which precedes the availabilityof handheld electronic devices [5]. While reading quizzes offer one incentive to read a textbookbefore class, web-based technologies can quickly and easily tracks

For example, the decisions to prepare a script, edit all audio, provide clearlylegible equations and annotations, and involve additional instructors increased the developmenttime. (Note that a script is required to provide a text alternative required by many universitiesfor learning disabled students.) None of these steps are required for e-Lessons or these specificsoftware development tools. As an aside, the availability of drawings, videos, and animations through the CreativeCommons license is invaluable when developing e-Lessons for engineering courses.

In an effort to improve the assessment of ABET studentoutcomes in the Process Design and Economics course, as well as to offer modern andengaging senior design projects, students were tasked with proposing their own seniordesign project idea in the Process Design and Economics course for potential use in thePlant Design Project course. This design project proposal assignment required studentsto describe a potential design project idea and assess its potential merits usinginput/output (I/O) economics, safety, and societal assessments.

learning,interactive technologies leverage the strengths of the digital native [24, 25]. Student engagementwith new technologies does not seems to be a detractor; recent surveys found a majority of currentengineering students, sometimes called digital natives, prefer interactive and/or electronictextbooks [26, 27]. However, many faculty authors of educational materials are not natives of thedigital age, so creation and adoption of interactive materials may be slow.Overall, fully interactive tools are becoming available for core chemical engineering courses, e.g.,material and energy balances zyBook [28]; however, the market size for chemical engineering ismuch smaller than foundational math or science courses (e.g., General Chemistry), so

First, the apparatus and instrumentalrequired for this experiment are simple and inexpensive. Departments interested in expandingtheir experimental repertoire for their laboratory could construct the experiment for less than$5,000. Second, this experiment covers technology that is directly relevant to many chemicalengineering applications, but is often only covered at a high-level, if at all, in undergraduatecurriculums. Fluidization technology is commonly used in the engineering field, with examplesranging from pneumatic conveying of solids to freeze drying of fruits to heterogeneous catalyticreactions

The effort that students put forth in solving these problems is a prerequisite for the studentsunderstanding and problem solving ability. Learners can mislead themselves in thinking they havemastered a topic, if they look at the solution to a problem before they expend sufficient effort in solvingthat problem. This self-deception can have a negative impact on student learning4. The temptation tolook at the
