, 2019 Work In Progress: Best Practices in Teaching a Chemical Process Design Two-course Sequence at a Minority Serving UniversityIntroductionStudents complete their capstone design experience in the Chemical Process Design II and IIIsequence of courses in chemical engineering at Texas A&M University-Kingsville (TAMUK), aHispanic-serving institution (HSI). Three principle objectives of this process design coursesequence are to instruct students in the development of a complete chemical process usingprocess simulators as a primary tool, to complete this project in a team-oriented environment,and to communicate effectively with their peers and instructors. These three principle objectivesare directly related to the ABET student

capstone chemical engineering process design course. TheAdvanced Design Project (ADP) course is a three-week, intensive senior level design course,which includes mechanical engineers and chemists from a technical German university andchemical engineers from a private German university of applied science and an Americanuniversity. The nontraditional approach utilized in the ADP course meets the ABET accreditationstandards set by the traditional American chemical engineering capstone process design course.Additional emphasis, especially in terms of acquisition of communication skills, ability to workon a multidisciplinary team, and obtain a global perspective, is obtained in the ADP course. Theseskills are typically much more difficult to practice

project management andcommunication, particularly communicating outside of engineering. Overall, the sophomorestended to report similar numbers of team members with each professional skill as the seniors.Whereas the seniors could clearly distinguish between the professional skill areas, thesophomores were not adept at this.To understand the impact of the team asset-mapping activity, we compared the sophomores’scores on items from a peer evaluation conducted twice during the semester. Early in thesemester, students tended to report some difficulty managing conflicts related to team tasks, butby the end of the semester, significantly fewer teams did so.We also describe an asset-based modification we made to the teams in the senior capstone

) water use minimization orrecycling; and (4) harsh or hazardous chemical or catalyst substitution. Once students areintroduced to these concepts, they are expected to incorporate them to the extent applicable intheir chemical process selected for the capstone design experience in Design III. The fourthconcept of hazardous chemical substitution has rarely been implemented based on theinstructor’s experience in the senior design courses, since this tends to be more in the purview ofchemical product development rather than chemical process formulation and simulation. The listof chemical processes offered to students for their senior design project topic are commonly bulkorganic chemical production processes that typically include reactor conditions

several mid-curriculum projects have moved into this space, along with multiple senior capstone projects,bringing about inter-cohort interactions and developing a social hub for the department, as wellas facilitating course activities.In this work, we report on the detailed design of this learning environment, and the lessonslearned in the creation of such a multi-use space, specifically for the needs of chemicalengineering students and curriculum. We report on how the transition of our first-year designcourse to this new layout appears to have impacted multiple metrics: student trainings andlaboratory skill acquisition, student course performance, team evaluations, course and instructorevaluations, and more. Finally, because the space combines a

availability. Overall, a total of six experiments are performed: a calibrationexperiment, three core unit operations experiments (focusing on heat transfer, fluid flow, andseparation process), an operability study, and a final project. A full detail calendar for the term isshown in Table 1. The calibration experiment is the first required report, and it is focused onverifying the existing instrumentation or recommend a calibration for a piece of equipment suchas a rotameter or pump. For the three core experiments, the students have two weeks ofexperimentation and one additional week to write a report. The operability study is performedduring one week of experimentation, and the students make a presentation or write a two-pagememo to summarize their

are courses on micro-phenomena; the findings fromtransport phenomena are then used to justify principles of design and operation of macro-phenomena such as reactors, distillation columns, absorbers/adsorbers, filters of various types,and mixers. Generally missing from these macro-phenomena courses is any discussion of theinstruments, valves, feedback controllers and sequential logic needed to operate these units. Thefinal capstone macro-phenomena course, usually called “Process Design” or “Plant Design”,requires the students to tie together many unit operations to create a full process, which ismodelled, sized, and costed. This course has little time to discuss how the simultaneousoperation of many unit operations is to be coordinated by a
