Inaddition to evaluating more students, the user experience can be improved with additionalexperimental data and enhanced graphics with moving images or changing images. This wouldincrease engagement and visual association, which would be beneficial when the virtual lab isacting as a pre-lab to a physical unit operations lab. However, this preliminary study shows thatvirtual labs can effectively assist students in understanding fundamental fluidization theories. 9References[1] S. U. Rahman, N. M. Tukur, and I. A.

Thecreation of this course responded to two needs although, actually, one of them was much morecompelling than the other.

presentation.Background – What we have doneFor the past 12 years we have been developing a pedagogy that combines aspects of Cooperative,Hands-on, Active and Problem based Learning into a unique classroom environment, which we refer toby the acronym CHAPL. This has been developed in a required second semester junior year course, FluidMechanics and Heat Transfer. This course is the second course in our transport series.CHAPLis a group-centered learning approach in which the instructor and teaching assistants act aspreceptors to assist groups in narrowing the discussion focus, probe and guide group thinking whenmisconceptions are encountered and, on occasion, assist groups in resolving conflicts. One of thepedagogical tools central to this approach is the “Jigsaw

important aspect of this project because traditionally, the chemical engineeringcurriculum stresses the scaling up of laboratory chemical reactions to larger chemical processingunit operations and often students enter the class with the bias that chemical engineering means“scaling up”. Particularly as studies of biochemical reactions in microbiological systems, suchas proteomics or in microfabricated devices as in the body-on-a-chip described here, are soprevalent in the chemical engineering research literature, it is important that students are exposedto the possibilities and advantages for scaling down chemical processes and the related careerchoices.Student appreciation of the significance of scale down on several levels (efficiency, safety
