, 2019 Work In Progress: Best Practices in Teaching a Chemical Process Design Two-course Sequence at a Minority Serving UniversityIntroductionStudents complete their capstone design experience in the Chemical Process Design II and IIIsequence of courses in chemical engineering at Texas A&M University-Kingsville (TAMUK), aHispanic-serving institution (HSI). Three principle objectives of this process design coursesequence are to instruct students in the development of a complete chemical process usingprocess simulators as a primary tool, to complete this project in a team-oriented environment,and to communicate effectively with their peers and instructors. These three principle objectivesare directly related to the ABET student

activities into a course can result in an increase in student perceptions ofcourse relevance which can then positively impact student motivation and willingness to put timeand effort into a course [5]. In a previous effort at the study institution, a project-based approachto assessment was successfully implemented in this course, where students were tasked withproposing their own senior design project idea for potential use in the capstone design course [6-7]. This project was used to assess students’ ability to communicate effectively, describe apreliminary process concept that met a societal need with realistic constraints, understand ethicalresponsibilities and safety issues, understand the impact of the proposed project in a global,environmental

students who complete a dedicated technicalcommunication course report the deliverables from a subsequent capstone course project betterthan students who have not taken a dedicated communication course?Within this, we are interested in assessing differences in how well each group is able to: ● Report deliverables ● Develop technical content into evidence ● Synthesize technical content and evidence into a report ● Use techniques to monitor the process of their writingIn addition we are interested in analyzing the process of our subjects’ writing by understanding: ● What techniques are being used by the different groups? ● What task environments affect the different groups during their writing processes?Currently, the Chemical

validation. The design process is itself a complex cognitive process [9] and requiresstudents to undertake deep approaches to learning [10].Chemical engineering design experiences allow students to apply the design process to produceuseful and profitable products to society. However, these experiences are traditionally offeredduring the senior year to meet their Capstone Design Project requirement. Some of the coursesthat may include design experiences are, for example, Process Design, Process and Plant Design,Product Design, and Process Design and Economics [1]. This leaves first-year, sophomore, andjunior students without enough experiences to develop a chemical engineering mindset (attitude)while practicing in "actual" engineering work. Chemical

Anyidentification regarding group identity was removed prior to scoring and replaced with a project-assigned ID number to maintain privacy and to mask group membership from raters. All students’solutions were scored using the PROCESS rubric after the semester. Thus, PROCESS scores donot reflect or have an effect on students’ course grades.Raters’ scores for a subset of student solutions were analyzed to determine how consistently ratersmeasured student problem solving ability.

University of Applied Sciences in Groningen, where he taught both in Dutch and in English. During this time his primary teaching and course develop- ment responsibilities were wide-ranging, but included running the Unit Operations laboratory, introducing Aspen Plus software to the curriculum, and developing a course for a new M.S. program on Renewable Energy (EUREC). In conjunction with his teaching appointment, he supervised dozens of internships (a part of the curriculum at the Hanze), and a number of undergraduate research projects with the Energy Knowledge Center (EKC) as well as a master’s thesis. In 2016, Dr. Barankin returned to the US to teach at the Colorado School of Mines. His primary teaching and course
