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
, collaborative, and problem-based learning, and in the ways hands-on activities such as making, technology, and games can be used to improve student engagement.Dr. Michael J. Prince, Bucknell University Dr. Michael Prince is a professor of chemical engineering at Bucknell University and co-director of the National Effective Teaching Institute. His research examines a range of engineering education topics, including how to assess and repair student misconceptions and how to increase the adoption of research- based instructional strategies by college instructors and corporate trainers. He is actively engaged in presenting workshops on instructional design to both academic and corporate instructors.Dr. Katharyn E. K. Nottis
: Library Guide for IDIS 303Whenever a team was having problems developing search terms/keywords, the librarian wouldswitch over to Google Scholar to give them a familiar place to search. For some reason studentshad an easier time experimenting in Google Scholar than in any other database. The librarian andstudents then discussed the use of quotes, date ranges, and the advance search. Afterwards, thespecialized engineering databases would be searched with the newly found search terms. Asdocuments are found, the librarian explained where each would fit in their outline. Emphasis wasplaced on finding a variety of information to fill a 15 page paper. Sometimes the teams gravitatedto the history of technology and pricing but that information is out of
, whether in industry, academia, or inpolicy-making positions. Given factors as diverse as technological advancement, climatechange trends, and international competition, training engineers in both professional abilitiesand higher order thinking skills is necessary to empower future professionals in solvinguncertain and ever-changing challenges which they will inevitably face in their careers. Forhydraulic engineers, such challenges involve an emphasis on real-world problem solving andthe need for a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach, such as in the case of the inter-agency and cross-disciplinary efforts necessary to resolve complicated extreme weather andwater supply sustainability issues. Additionally, innovation and creative thinking

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

Recall that the study participants at Bennett and Elon were biologyand engineering majors, respectively. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics(STEM) courses are widely regarded as anomalies at the liberal arts institution, so there is likelya strong expectation for traditional teaching and learning methods in those classes and some levelof discomfort with and

Teachers engaging in interdisciplinary curriculum are often freed from isolation, allowed toactively take on multiple roles in teaching,10 and supported in reconstructing their roles andviews on their profession.6 On the other hand, some kind of mechanism—either institutionalor social—also needs to be in place in order to foster interdisciplinary cooperation amongteachers in the long run.8 In December 2013, three university teachers from civil engineering (CE), building andplanning (B&P), and futures studies (FS) embarked on a 3-year
