inharm to employees, the environment and in some cases the public in highly publicized eventssuch as Bhopal and Deepwater Horizons. Risks are tolerated when hazards are controlled; whenan incident occurs, the risk becomes intolerable. The public reacts negatively to events involvingemployee deaths, environmental damage or threats to their homes.Incidents often result in negative publicity and a call for change. For example, a runawayreaction led to an explosion at a company called T2 Laboratories in Jacksonville, FL inDecember 2007.3 The blast killed four people. Another thirty two people were injured; fourteenrequired treatment at a local hospital. In response, the U.S. Chemical Safety and HazardInvestigation Board (CSB) called for improvements

A Pharmacokinetic Simulation-Based Module to Introduce Mass Balances and Chemical Engineering Design Concepts to Engineering FreshmenIntroductionOften the opportunities for freshmen engineering students to be exposed to chemical engineeringare limited. Introduction to chemical engineering is typically a sophomore level course.Freshman general engineering courses come in a variety of forms from college orientationcourses to lectures on basics of design and safety to project-based laboratory or designexperiences. A recent survey of 50 chemical engineering undergraduate programs showed that6% of those programs offered engineering laboratory experiences for freshmen through generalengineering courses and 4

college is for the instructor to talk informally with groups duringa three hour design laboratory period that is held once per week. However, the course instructorsin chemical engineering have selected the dedicated meeting approach described above ratherthan this alternate approach, because it guarantees a completely devoted time period for eachteam with the instructor. Thus, the practice of a regular checkup espoused by Davis [2] isaccomplished. In the laboratory checkup scenario described above, not all teams may getindividual time with the instructor each week. The preferred approach is more time consumingfor the instructors, however it is worthwhile, since it better ensures the success of all teams ineach course offering. The effectiveness
