The former work identified a lack of UO-specific active learningactivities that could be easily integrated into a course, and the latter identified that riskassessment and hazard identification were not only highly relevant to UO courses but wereinadequately covered or not taught at all at the six institutions. Furthermore, the authors couldfind no data that quantified the frequency of incidents, near-misses, or positive observationswithin a UO laboratory course. This kind of data is commonly collected in industrial settings tohelp

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

MEB course at another well-known university in 2014 when our institutionwas evaluating that course for potential transfer credit. We were initially skeptical of onlinecourses in general – concerned about how the integrity of the exam taking process could becontrolled, how rigorous the assessments could be in an online course, how students could reallylearn material like that online, etc. After speaking with the facilitating professor of the course,we concluded that if a student passed the course, they would be prepared for our curriculum andwe accepted the course for transfer credit. Exams were similar in content and format to ours andwere mailed to the professor at the university for grading after students took them on paper at atesting

microstructure and an analysis of how structure relatesto the material’s mechanical response behavior. This often requires the application of complexmodels. 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

Evaluation. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Student Attitudes When Solving Homework Problems that Reverse Engineer YouTube VideosAbstractProblem solving is a vital skill required to be successful in many engineering industries. One wayfor students to practice problem solving is through solving homework problems. However,solutions manuals for textbook problems are usually available online, and students can easilydefault to copying from solution manual. To address the solution manual dilemma and promotebetter problem-solving ability, this study utilizes novel homework problems that integrate a videocomponent as an alternative to text-only, textbook problems.

with the ChemE major than those who did not. Campattendees also reported a larger network of potential study partners than non-attendees andperformed better in the Material and Energy Balances (MEB) course. To explain these observedeffects, we enlisted the help of an engineering education researcher. After review of the relevantliterature in learning theories, we decided to focus on the constructs of self-efficacy and socialsupport. We then improved the design and rigor of our study and refined our surveys byintroducing subscales from validated instruments of self-efficacy and social integration.Preliminary results suggest that the camp is having a positive effect on the self-efficacy, socialand academic integration, and intent to persist of

, the class average was 69.6 ± 15.9,with an average median of 70; in all semesters afterwards, the average was 79.1 ± 14.1 with anaverage median of 80.9. A paired two tailed t-test comparing the results from Fall 2016 to Fall2018, again distinguishing between before the project to just before the lab courses changed,indicated statistical significance in the results (p = 0.012). Given that the exam questions changedevery semester, this continued improvement strongly suggests that the course project was helpingto improve students’ understanding of the concepts.Conclusion In response to students’ requests for more learning material in their courses, curriculum-producing projects were integrated into a heat and mass transfer course, with the

process simulators and othercomputational tools.Today expectations for the capstone design project are much higher than they were 20 years ago.Such expectations include multiple case studies, sophisticated optimizations including processeconomics, and life-cycle and safety analyses. However, very few chemical engineeringgraduates work for design and construction companies and those employed in the processindustry will more likely work in an operating facility. The senior capstone design projectprovides students an opportunity to bring different concepts taught throughout the curriculuminto the design of a chemical process. The question is: how well does a rigorous chemicalengineering undergraduate curriculum and the associated capstone design

student’s interests and major choice, it isimportant to explore these facets with regards to specific majors and career choices. Biology isbecoming an integral part of chemical engineering education, and biological courses are evenrequired in curricula for chemical engineering programs with the terms “biochemical” or“biomolecular” in their names [5]. While chemical engineering students are therefore beingexposed to more and more biology, it is unknown whether they have positive or negativeemotions towards biology. Indeed, from the authors’ own anecdotal experiences, chemicalengineering students do not seem to be overly positive or excited about biology. The goal of thisstudy was therefore to test the hypothesis that chemical engineering students
