student learning experience. Linking theory and calculations from the lecture to somethingconcrete to which the students are routinely exposed provides relevancy and can successfullyreinforce key aspects of the topic. This paper illustrates the integration of a practical exampleinto a chemical engineering curriculum, with the example pulled from a Mass and EnergyBalances course.The problem involves calculation of the power required to vaporize the liquid in an electroniccigarette (e-cigarette or vaporizer). Solution of this problem requires a coupled mass and energybalance and requires some knowledge of vapor-liquid equilibrium. Obviously, someassumptions are required to analyze this problem. Even with these assumptions, a reasonableestimate of

Student c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Quantifying self-guided repetition within an interactive textbook for a material and energy balances courseAbstractInteractive technology has quickly integrated into daily lives through handheld electronics and theInternet. Here, an interactive textbook replacement from zyBooks for a material and energybalances course has been used in recent years. While features of the interactive textbook werehighlighted previously, including animations replacing figures and question sets in lieu of largeblocks of text, student usage will be the focus of this contribution. Similarly, reading

suited forchemical engineers. In short, as engineers we are relatively late to the makerspace movement,likely due to the complications of incorporating wet chemistry with process design, and a studentbody that is not often trained on machining tools or expected to develop CAD skills. Regardless,the advances we have made as an engineering discipline in this area could use additional scrutinyto discern what has worked for a chemical engineering population and what has not.In this work I describe the design and impacts of a makerspace at the University of Utah, createdspecifically for chemical engineering curriculum. Results are compared from a first-yearchemical engineering design course taught both in a traditional unit operation laboratory

OperatingProcedures; and other process-specific topics germane to an organization. The undergraduateChemical Engineering curriculum can provide courses in these topics, or integrate these topicsinto existing courses to help prepare the graduating engineer for industrial practice.In addition to proactive programs that prevent incidents, it is important to learn from pastexperience. In the words of George Santanaya, a famous Spanish philosopher, “Those who donot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Company-sponsored, post-graduationtraining programs are meant to fulfill these needs.A more formal approach to deciding what process safety topics should be covered is to reviewthe regulatory framework.

. o Polls: Integrative polls in Collaborate Ultra is an excellent way of getting stu- dents engaged and involved in a discussion. They also helped instructor to gauge student understanding of a particular topic. o Chat Box: Chatbox available through a Blackboard conferencing tool allows the students to provide comments and answers to the questions. The chatting setting was done in such a way that every participant can send a message to everyone or have the ability to send a private message to the instructor. o Annotation on the PowerPoint slides: Annotation on the PowerPoint slides is another excellent feature when teaching

. Breathe Utah took responsibility for outreach visits to local middle schools, modifyingthe teaching module to better accommodate student sophistication and grade curriculum. BreathUtah was also instrumental in addressing district governmental hurdles.Finally, teaching modules were developed in partnership with high school interns from theAcademy for Math, Engineering, and Science (AMES). Our department maintains an internshipprogram with AMES, a Title 1 high school, from which we gain about 20 interns each year.These interns worked on teaching module language and procedures, vetting that the concepts andactivities would be effective in engaging our target cohort of citizens in this CS project [7].Once appropriate teaching modules were developed

sustainable thinking is a challenge for education in engineering, but it is essential tothe personal and professional development of an engineer since the demand for labor requires Page 26.1125.2engineers with professional practice, knowledge, and ability to make decisions to meet every daychallenges in their work field. These decisions involve aspects of Sustainable Development (SD)1 like: “the development that satisfies the needs of the people today without compromising thefuture generations”2. The resulting situation at the universities today is that SD integration isoften limited to some specific courses (depending on the lecturers) and that

of the46 following four areas: academic and career advising, high school preparation, engineering structure and47 curriculum, and faculty relations[9]. This paper focuses on faculty relations because, historically, 148 universities have relegated retention issues to staff and advisors. The importance of faculty influence on49 student retention is an under-researched and under-explored area. Specifically, faculty relations can be50 shaped through specific teaching practices instructors can use to increase student retention. Research51 supports the claim that student-professor relationships are vital in promoting the success of engineering52 students [10], [11]. One

The previous studies,on the other hand, will be most impactful moving forward in guiding future analyses of CrashCourse: Engineering videos in formal and informal learning environments, by means ofshowcasing how videos can best be integrated into classrooms or tutoring.

, as well as creative problem solving skills [11-16]. Design projects are a promising way toprepare students for industry [17]. Authentic design problems that have meaning beyond theclassroom are most effective [18] as they allow students to integrate knowledge and practice[19].Commonly, instructors include a host of active learning instructional strategies to scaffoldstudent learning related to projects. Broadly, active learning instructional strategies have beenshown to better support learning than traditional lectures [4, 20, 21]. We employed an activelearning technique used commonly in the past—particularly in elementary classrooms—calledjigsaw [22], which is well backed by learning theory [23, 24].Jigsaw is a technique in which students

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
