knowledge in the areas regulatory affairs, and safety which are becomingmainstream capabilities for engineers. To meet the demands for a rapidly changing, technology-driven workforce, the industry and educational advisory bodies have recommended thatacademic instruction should include industry practice training2. Many programs and universitieshave accomplished industry practice training through co-operative education, industry fellowsprograms, guest lectures, capstone projects, courses co-taught with the industry, and field trips3,4. This poster describes an effort to translate some industry practices into classroomeducation. Experiential laboratory, design projects, classroom lectures or seminars can be used toinclude industry practice

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.

Students also must develop a spreadsheet where column diameter isdetermined at four different points in the column (tray below the condenser, tray above thereboiler, trays adjacent to the feed tray). This spreadsheet, if correct, is then available for themto use when sizing columns for their semester design project. The necessary data (flowrates,surface tension, vapor and liquid density) required for the diameter calculation are obtained fromtheir generated column profiles.

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
