The interactive textbook format has also been demonstrated to help students in thelower third of the class engage in the course [7, 8, 19, 20, 25-27]. Reading participation using azyBook is also discussed in another 2019 ASEE contribution.In this contribution, an interactive textbook for teaching spreadsheets will be reviewed, readingparticipation and repetition analyzed, and successes and challenges of auto-graded problemssummarized.Materials: An interactive textbook with spreadsheetszyBooks creates interactive textbook replacements using the philosophy: Less text, more actionTM.These interactive textbooks are viewed, read, and interacted with in

Figure 4. Pre- and posttest average scores for the control and experimental groups.When looking at the concept breakdown, majority of the students lost points when describing theenergy transformation between flow work and kinetic energy. This may be due to the conceptbeing less visual, hence why the LC-DLMs would not have aided student understanding; in thiscase, more emphasis would be required in lecture and homework.Due to a miscommunication, the final tier of this study will not be implemented until May 2nd, 2019on the final exam. Having the final tier will allow us to make further conclusions, which will beshared at the 2019 ASEE Conference and Exposition.AcknowledgementsThe authors acknowledge support from the National Science Foundation’s

In this laboratory, senior undergraduate chemical engineering students were given theoption to choose certain topics for their final experiment. After obtaining students’ selection forthe given topics, four groups consisting of three or four students were selected by the instructorsto focus on a CSTR project. It
