Here, an interactive textbook replacement from zyBooks for a material and energybalances course has been used in recent years. While features of the interactive textbook werehighlighted previously, including animations replacing figures and question sets in lieu of largeblocks of text, student usage will be the focus of this contribution.

deficient, theother both insufficient). Thus, even with similar knowledge on the settings for ESI educationwithin a program, individuals may have differing opinions on what level of ESI education issufficient.A number of the write-in comments to the open-ended question regarding broad thoughts on ESIeducation advocated for an ethics across the curriculum approach, and it seems reasonable thatfaculty with those beliefs would make this effort in their own courses. One example comment is: “Ethics is a very broad topic and I feel, much like it's subtopic of safety, it is best integrated across the curriculum rather than in a single course. In this way students do not compartmentalize ethics into a philosophical and case study

Using basic chemicals and novel filtration designs, students implementan integrated understanding of fluid mechanics, mass transfer, separations, thermodynamics, andkinetics in order to characterize their systems and execute their remediation systems over two trialswithin their river. The project concludes with a technical report written as from a company to atown council to propose their full-scale treatment system. The project also finishes with a novelpresentation in which the student teams must give a town hall-style presentation and defend theirproposed treatment system to an audience of upper classmen, faculty

We’ll also demonstrate the EML elements using student work samples. 3 The course is the first sophomore-level course in a 4-course, integrated sequence. Thisintroductory course covers basic material and energy balances, thermodynamics, and an introduction tovapor-liquid equilibrium and separations. Normally content is restricted to steady state mass balances insingle and multiple units. Typically non-steady state balances are covered only qualitatively with maybeone quantitative example

BreathUtah was also instrumental in addressing district governmental hurdles.Finally, teaching modules were developed in partnership with high school interns from theAcademy for Math, Engineering, and Science (AMES). Our department maintains an internshipprogram with AMES, a Title 1 high school, from which we gain about 20 interns each year.These interns worked on teaching module language and procedures, vetting that the concepts andactivities would be effective in engaging our target cohort of citizens in this CS project [7].Once appropriate teaching modules were developed
