The authors developed a workshop to teach chemical engineering faculty to use anddevelop interactive coding templates (MATLAB Live Scripts and Jupyter Notebooks) and toequip faculty to incorporate these techniques across the undergraduate curriculum. The workshopwas presented at the 2022 ASEE/AIChE Summer School for Engineering Faculty. The purposeof this paper is to disseminate the workshop resources, providing educators with a suite ofinteractive templates focused on chemical engineering-related case studies and with training tocreate and adapt their own related materials.

Data was pulledfrom the Pennsylvania Agricultural Statistics Annual Bulletin for 2021-2022 [12]. The data usedin the development of this model was that of 2017, as it was the latest year with full data for allcrops. Issued by the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, this report compiles theoverall production of crops in the state. Using these data, a
