professor of chemical engineering at The Cooper Union in New York City. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Introduction of a Carbon Dioxide Capture Experiment in a Senior Chemical Engineering Laboratory CourseAbstractWith the severity of climate change impacts increasing, it is imperative to educate students aboutclimate change and potential technologies that may be used to mitigate it. To teach studentsabout climate change and an emerging industry in carbon dioxide removal (CDR), a carbondioxide capture experiment was included in a senior chemical engineering laboratory course. Theexperiment was iteratively scaled-up and student-designed in one rotation of a single

believe themselves or others may have been able to perform well on assignments without attending classes in person, nor reviewing recorded lectures?2.2. Course StudiedThe studied senior capstone design course covers many topics, including review of process flowdiagrams (PFDs) and piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), applying informationlearned in previous courses toward the design of chemical processes, use of ASPEN, costingcapital equipment / manufacturing, and engineering economics. The course is delivered as atwice-a-week 75-minute lecture with active learning activities (e.g. think-pair-share) led by theinstructor approximately every 15-20 minutes. Classroom and syllabus policies remainedunchanged from those prior to the

recommendation is for 6-member teams, as the same teams simultaneously run otherprojects in the companion course with a significant workload. Members are self-selected, favoredby the fact that being seniors, they have had opportunities to interact previously in the career,align their interests and schedules, and they have already been exposed to work in non-self-selected teams.The first session of the lab takes place in the classroom and provides basic information on thelab, scope, and syllabus for the course. In addition, students participate in a selection of teambuilding games to reinforce team skills and strategies [14]. The first assignment consists of a 2-page assessment of that experience, where students report major takeaways to guide
