inthermodynamics and material and energy balance courses. Originally called YouTube Fridays, thefirst five minutes of Friday class sessions were dedicated to course related videos selected by agroup of students. At the end of the semester, surveys showed that the vast majority of studentsfelt they had better understanding of the field of chemical engineering from participating inYouTube Fridays [28]. In subsequent semesters, students selected YouTube videos and createdengineering estimate problems related to the course material. Surveys showed that the majority ofthe students felt they had a better understanding of the course topic of thermodynamics, couldrelate thermodynamics to real world phenomena, and felt confident solving engineering

any HTML5 compliant webbrowser without additional plug-ins. The lead author created a Material and Energy BalanceszyBook, available since January 2016. In 2018, a chapter on spreadsheets was added along withadditional spreadsheet content to help students solve material and energy balance problems. Thechapter on spreadsheet skills is the focus of this work, and this content is also available as a stand-alone title, Spreadsheets Essentials, for a price of $10 per student per semester. The Material andEnergy Balances zyBook is required for the course; reading participation and auto-gradedproblems account for 10% of the final course grade, which is detailed in another paper for thisconference. The necessity of interactivity to earn a grade
