Professor at The Pennsylvania State Uni- versity. Her primary focus is the Chemical Engineering Capstone Design course and Chemical Process Safety and Control. She brings her over 20 years of experience in industry to the classroom to help the students connect their learning with real world application. While the focus of her career was in Re- search and Development (including several process patents), it also included assignments in production and capital deployment. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020Collaborative project-based learning approach to the enculturation of senior engineeringstudents into professional engineer practice of teamworkYu Xia, The Pennsylvania State

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

several mid-curriculum projects have moved into this space, along with multiple senior capstone projects,bringing about inter-cohort interactions and developing a social hub for the department, as wellas facilitating course activities.In this work, we report on the detailed design of this learning environment, and the lessonslearned in the creation of such a multi-use space, specifically for the needs of chemicalengineering students and curriculum. We report on how the transition of our first-year designcourse to this new layout appears to have impacted multiple metrics: student trainings andlaboratory skill acquisition, student course performance, team evaluations, course and instructorevaluations, and more. Finally, because the space combines a

process simulators and othercomputational tools.Today expectations for the capstone design project are much higher than they were 20 years ago.Such expectations include multiple case studies, sophisticated optimizations including processeconomics, and life-cycle and safety analyses. However, very few chemical engineeringgraduates work for design and construction companies and those employed in the processindustry will more likely work in an operating facility. The senior capstone design projectprovides students an opportunity to bring different concepts taught throughout the curriculuminto the design of a chemical process. The question is: how well does a rigorous chemicalengineering undergraduate curriculum and the associated capstone design

process design teaching team, manages the courses and industry interface. Her current research focuses on the application of blended and active learning to design teaching and learning, program content and structure, student assessment, and continuous course improvement techniques. She managed and was a key contributor to a two-year pilot project to introduce Blended Learning into Engineering Capstone Design Courses, and is a co-author with John M. Shaw on a number of recent journal, book, and con- ference contributions on engineering design education. Recently she has taught a short course on how to design and teach process engineering courses to professors in Peru and workshops on Metacognition and Lifelong Learning

are courses on micro-phenomena; the findings fromtransport phenomena are then used to justify principles of design and operation of macro-phenomena such as reactors, distillation columns, absorbers/adsorbers, filters of various types,and mixers. Generally missing from these macro-phenomena courses is any discussion of theinstruments, valves, feedback controllers and sequential logic needed to operate these units. Thefinal capstone macro-phenomena course, usually called “Process Design” or “Plant Design”,requires the students to tie together many unit operations to create a full process, which ismodelled, sized, and costed. This course has little time to discuss how the simultaneousoperation of many unit operations is to be coordinated by a
