student learning experience. Linking theory and calculations from the lecture to somethingconcrete to which the students are routinely exposed provides relevancy and can successfullyreinforce key aspects of the topic. This paper illustrates the integration of a practical exampleinto a chemical engineering curriculum, with the example pulled from a Mass and EnergyBalances course.The problem involves calculation of the power required to vaporize the liquid in an electroniccigarette (e-cigarette or vaporizer). Solution of this problem requires a coupled mass and energybalance and requires some knowledge of vapor-liquid equilibrium. Obviously, someassumptions are required to analyze this problem. Even with these assumptions, a reasonableestimate of

Using an Alternative Presentation Model in a ChE Unit Operations Laboratory Course1. IntroductionIt is well-known that effective oral communication skills are critical to the success of chemicalengineering (ChE) graduates in the modern workplace1–8. With this in mind it is important thatChE instructors provide their students with numerous opportunities to practice oralcommunication skills through in-class presentations. However

therapeutics.Dr. Jon D Koch, Trine University c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017IntroductionNumerical problems and exercises are foundational to the education of students in natural science,technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and have been a central feature in the curriculum ofthose majors. 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

He currently has research activity in areas related engineering education and is interested in integrating technology into effective educational practices and in promoting the use of higher-level cognitive skills in engineering problem solving. His research interests particularly focus on what prevents students from being able to integrate and extend the knowledge developed in specific courses in the core curriculum to the more complex, authentic problems and projects they face as professionals.

, as well as creative problem solving skills [11-16]. Design projects are a promising way toprepare students for industry [17]. Authentic design problems that have meaning beyond theclassroom are most effective [18] as they allow students to integrate knowledge and practice[19].Commonly, instructors include a host of active learning instructional strategies to scaffoldstudent learning related to projects. Broadly, active learning instructional strategies have beenshown to better support learning than traditional lectures [4, 20, 21]. We employed an activelearning technique used commonly in the past—particularly in elementary classrooms—calledjigsaw [22], which is well backed by learning theory [23, 24].Jigsaw is a technique in which students

parameters. The interdisciplinary and intercultural team is more representative ofindustrial design teams, particularly from global companies.Due to the nature and scope required to design an entire chemical process in an intensive three-week period, this course is taught as a more structured design with some room for variation andcreativity in the plant design. The entire design is broken into major tasks, e.g., mass balance,kinetics and reactor design, separation, safety, and economics. The tutors develop specific tasksand goals (daily and overall) corresponding to these major tasks that the teams must meet.Additionally, during the second week, certain teams may be asked for more advanced designs, forexample, incorporating heat integration
