connecting representations. Students also tend to focus on thesurface features instead of the underlying scientific principles.In chemical engineering, students are introduced to block flow diagrams (BFDs), a new type ofpictorial representation of a chemical process, early in the curriculum. For example, in thesophomore-level material and energy balances, often an initial exercise is to convert a wordproblem into a simple block flow diagram. The block flow diagram consists of a series of blocksrepresenting different equipment or unit operations that are connected by input and outputstreams. Important information such as operating temperatures, pressures, and flow rates areincluded in the diagram. However, the diagram does not include any details of
. There is a needto bridge this knowledge gap in order to position each accepted student to succeed in graduatestudies.Since 2018 the department has offered a self-paced online course sequence consisting of twocourses, three credit hours each which are typically taken Fall/Spring or Spring/Summer, forstudents with a BS degree in a non-CHE science or engineering field. This two-course sequenceserves as a “bridging course” and teaches the core concepts in chemical engineering to students,covering material including material and energy balances, thermodynamics, transportphenomena, and reactor design. The course content, organization and continuous improvementhave been previously presented and documented [1-5].Now that the two-course sequence has
directconnection between the students’ home neighborhoods and the data being collected, fostersstudent investment and curiosity in their analysis.KeywordsAir quality, modelingMotivationIn chemical engineering curricula, it can often be difficult to identify relevant and meaningfulexamples that relate beyond the realm of traditional process engineering. Environmentally-oriented coursework often employs examples within the natural world’s subsystems (i.e., theatmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere) to demonstrate principles of masstransport, material and energy balances, and chemical kinetic phenomena. Notably, climate andatmospheric systems have provided a consistently topical and well-documented source ofinformation from which inspiration for

Both gender identityand expression may be distinct from biological sex. This particular institution is predominantlywhite ( 80%) and somewhat selective (interquartile range of ACT scores is 25-31).
