AC 2011-1634: A NEW INTERDISCIPLINARY COURSE FOR ENGINEER-ING AND BUSINESS STUDENTS: THE GLOBAL PHARMACEUTICALINDUSTRYWilliam J Kelly, Villanova University Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering Page 22.77.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 A new interdisciplinary course for engineering and business students: the Global Pharmaceutical IndustryAbstractThe workplace today is changing. Technological breakthroughs often cross disciplines countriesand continents. In highly regulated industries such as the pharmaceutical business, it is essentialfor engineers designing the products and
chemical engineering subjects, and to broaden studentexposure to emerging technologies. The ICC’s can also be used to review existing concepts andapplications, to gain additional exposure to new technologies that may not be part of any formalcourse, and to develop a more fundamental understanding of the common threads and methodsthat represent the underpinning of their chemical engineering education. The ICC’s are alsoenvisioned as an integrating tool that will help students better recognize the collection of coursesin their program as a unified curriculum.The development, teaching experience, and assessment of an ICC that is focused onmicroprocess technology are described. The latter is a key emerging technology in chemicalengineering that has

the teaching of concepts in an introductory thermodynamics coursethrough video. This generation of students is technology savvy, and regularly communicates bymeans other than face-to-face interactions (e.g. texting). Additionally, the popularity of sites suchas Khan Academy makes the idea of teaching with video difficult to ignore. Thus, we assert thatthere is value in using this media for instruction, and that this media can be leveraged for use in achemical engineering course. During this study, students will be asked to 1) take a conceptdiscussed during class, and articulate it in video media using everyday examples that otherstudents can relate to (autodidactic learning) 2) watch peer-made videos that teach these concepts(peer-to-peer

The unique focus ofchemical engineering on molecular transformations, processes, products, quantitative analysis,and multi-scale treatment of problems provides an ideal platform for productive interactions witha wide range of other science and engineering disciplines at boundaries that are among the mostexciting technology areas of research today. A multi-scale approach should be understood in thiscontext as the process of relating the chemical composition of a material to its properties, whichare often determined on larger length and time scales than those

Using acomputer control panel to operate the process that is contained in a hood gives it the feel of alarger scale industrial process and minimizes some of the dangers from the hazardous andflammable materials involved. The new experiment provides experience with an industriallyrelevant, “green” technology and affords us a chance to reinforce safety concepts and provideexperience with standard operating procedures and electronic batch records.IntroductionRenewable fuels such as biodiesel are becoming increasingly popular alternatives to petroleumbased fuels.

Secondly, valued and connected support mechanisms are key to ensuring studentsdevelop appropriate ways of coping with their workload which in and of itself, needs to bebalanced. Finally, students need to be more exposed to employers and industrial settings sothat they can further develop their professional skills.References:[1].
