engineering today is a field dedicated to the engineering of molecularsystems, applying principles from underlying sciences (e.g., chemistry, biology, material science,and applied physics) and systems engineering (e.g., applied mathematics, operations research,and computer science)”1. This definition immediately implies chemical engineers crossing overto several other disciples, and in reciprocity professionals from other disciplines crossing overinto chemical engineering. This crossover is particularly true to the field of biotechnology whichcalls for an intimate partnership between chemical engineers and biologists. The explosivegrowth of biotechnology and related industries into an enterprise worth several billion dollarsand the fact that about 50

objectives of the studio implementation include: 1. Provide an environment where a large number of students are engaged in active learning. 2. Design a learning environment that allows strategic and tactical implementation of active learning pedagogies and which allows relatively easy scaling to meet changing enrollments. 3. Provide a scaffolded support structure for GTAs which promotes their integration in class organization and achievement of learning objectives and that allows them to develop their teaching skills, knowledge of how students learn, and increases the value they place in teaching.Studio Architecture and Implementation DesignIn the studio-based curriculum design, classes are divided with studios

The interdisciplinary and intercultural team is more representative ofindustrial design teams, particularly from global companies.Due to the nature and scope required to design an entire chemical process in an intensive three-week period, this course is taught as a more structured design with some room for variation andcreativity in the plant design. The entire design is broken into major tasks, e.g., mass balance,kinetics and reactor design, separation, safety, and economics. The tutors develop specific tasksand goals (daily and overall) corresponding to these major tasks that the teams must meet.Additionally, during the second week, certain teams may be asked for more advanced designs, forexample, incorporating heat integration

What do students know about teams on the way in?Does anything we do actually make our students better team members? This paper endeavorsonly to address the first two questions. While an extensive student performance-basedassessment of teamwork is done across the curriculum, this paper will only look at how tointroduce students to teamwork using a discovery-based pedagogy that enables students torealize that “student teams” are “real team experiences” not “simulations” and that teamwork is askill that can be developed and must be practiced and not just something they will do when theyget a job.

interdisciplinary student teams have some unique challenges. Since this might well be thefirst time that students have worked with an interdisciplinary team on a significantly challengingtask, they may find it surprising that disciplines tend to cultivate characteristics. For example,chemical engineers tend to focus on mass and energy balances and view the process in terms ofbalances; they will, in most cases, be confused about how what they view as a process will in anyway integrate with an electronic circuit. The mechanical engineers will want to see machineswhen they look at their device, if they don’t, they might not relate. Likewise, the electricalengineers will want to reduce the process and the machines to electrical circuit components.Such can

Literacy is an important goal of the liberal arts education. Students need to understand and appreciate the modern world to be able to make informed decisions about critical issues. • Students who understand the big ideas of engineering (for example, recognizing real-world constraints, trade-offs, and considerations of economics, environment and safety) may later understand their own discipline better.Others agree that engineering should be a component of the liberal arts education.
