A crucial component of this endeavor is to follow thegraduates and to observe whether the stated outcomes of an undergraduate curriculum are metfollowing graduation.3. Course StructureThe three consecutive UOL courses offered in chemical engineering curriculum have twopurposes: firstly, introducing fundamental transport concepts to students enabling them toreinforce core courses and secondly, teaching how to design/implement experiments and lastlyemphasizing critical thinking on the processes. In industry, engineers are often responsible forpractical laboratory issues in order to meet the requirements for experimental data in developinga new product and to test a product whether the product or

Engineering Ethics Case Studies in Senior Unit Operations Laboratory

. Page 22.588.6Conclusions This work describes the results of integrating an ethics case study in Senior UnitOperations Laboratory over a two year period. The data obtained from post course surveysrevealed several findings. First, students feel that learning ethics is important, and that casestudies were a useful tool in doing so. Second, we need to consider if teaching ethics is useful,because it is often a function of how students are raised. Finally, choosing the “right” personnel(i.e. one that is engaging and possesses a relevant industrial background) for this project isimportant for delivering a positive experience for students.References[1] American Institute of Chemical Engineering , AICHE Code of Ethics, Accessed January 18,2011

Use of “clickers” is common both as formative assessment and as a teaching tool.Resources supporting an emphasis on conceptual learning, such as publication of conceptualquestions online, are increasing. Problem based learning approaches are common, as arelaboratories. Many programs are utilizing improved simulations of laboratories to obtain learningoutcomes similar to laboratory exercises. Active learning approaches are widespread and varied,and those who use them are satisfied that they are effective.AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank all of the instructors who completed this survey; the departmentchairs who passed on the request

The majority of those interviewed also expressed interest in using theVirtual Laboratory Project in subsequent years.Sources of EffectivenessIn this preliminary report of findings, some of the authors’ expected sources of effectivenesswere found to be reinforced by both teachers and students interviewed and surveyed. One ofthese sources was the situated, industrial context of the instructional design.
