Abulencia, Manhattan College Page 25.1037.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 Perspectives of Teaching a Deaf Student in the Material and Energy Balances CourseAbstract This paper discusses the experience of a Deaf student and their professor in amaterial and energy balances course. This non-traditional combination was challengingfor a few reasons. First, from a professor’s perspective, it was initially distracting to havetwo interpreters by your side

unsteady and steadystate transport problems. Keith, Morrison, and King7 have developed COMSOLMultiphysics® problems for introducing fuel cell concepts in fluid mechanics, heattransfer, or mass transfer courses. In this paper, we build upon this concept but utilize theMultiphysics® mode with two applications in mind: microfluidics and fuel cells.A special topics course in chemical engineering entitled Analytical MicrodeviceTechnology was developed for undergraduate upper-classmen and beginning graduatestudents. One challenge when discussing microfluidics in microdevices is facilitatingstudent visualization of the mathematical expressions and physical behaviors observed inthe micron length scales. A microscale module is described that involves fluid
