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

Thisincludes time and task management, assistance with planning an academic roadmap as well asinformation on co-curricular and extra-curricular activities that could develop one’s portfolio as achemical engineer, such as research, internships, co-ops, study abroad and (chemical)engineering clubs. Finally, the curriculum does not typically provide early information on thesteps necessary to prepare for one’s career. Failure to understand the answers to such questionscan result in students dropping the major, struggling academically, failing to make a connectionwith peers and resources, and facing challenges when applying for jobs due to inadequate careerpreparation.To address this gap in the curriculum

Hands-on experiments are ideal to illustrate these challenging concepts and thus constitutean integral part of the science and engineering curriculum. An ideal experiment involving a systemin which responses depend on multiple parameters should be constructed such that individualcomponents can be altered arbitrarily to understand their significance to the response of the system.Unfortunately, such experiments are often not realizable in classroom or even laboratory settings.Computer simulations can remediate some of the problems associated with the visualization ofcomplex processes; however, do not

Creating a central communications location allows easy announcement ofdepartment events or collection of feedback surveys.
