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.

animation is used to describe the process of reading resistor values in our linear circuitanalysis textbook. The animation describes the dynamic process of reading resistor band valuesfrom left to right to determine the total value of the resistor. Figure 5 shows the beginning,middle, and end of the animation. Figure 5. The animation ‘Reading resistor values’ describes the dynamic process of reading the color bands of a resistor to determine the resistor’s value.4.2 Chemical EngineeringOur material and energy balances textbook uses an animation to walk readers through theprocess of balancing a chemical reaction.

testactually represent the latent construct instead of being an artifact of rater discrepancies [21]. Thispaper argues that the MFRM provides necessary evidence toward the validity of inferences thatcan be made regarding student learning outcomes in engineering education.MethodsParticipantsA total of 113 students were enrolled in an undergraduate Material and Energy Balance chemicalengineering course as part of a control cohort (23 students; 22% female) and a treatment cohort(93 students; 41% female) at two Midwest Universities. Table 1 shows different distributions forhighest mathematics courses completed by cohort. This discrepancy can be explained as aconsequence of the course sequence occurring in the sophomore year for the control cohort (falland

In fall of 2016, we gave an identical test tostudents taking Material and Energy Balances, which is populated exclusively byChemical Engineering students. No student was in both course offerings.Students were not required to take the test and not all students participated. In addition,neither Differential Equations nor Modeling and Analysis are pre-requisite for Dynamicsso we eliminated from the study any students who took our test but had not yet completedone of these two courses. (Given our experience that students dislike exams, we foundthis to be a surprisingly large number of students.) We also eliminated from the
