environmental, economic, and social considerations whenwe design control systems. While fossil energy will be used up in the future, converting solarenergy to electric energy provides one potential solution to sustain the growth of the worldpopulation. The batteries play an essential role in electric energy storage, especially for electricvehicles (e.g., Tesla EV). The switch from traditional energy resources to renewable energy bringschallenges and opportunities to chemical engineers who generally work in the oil & gas industry.To make students aware of these challenges and opportunities, a project was developed in thecourse of Chemical Process Control, which is the last required course taken by senior students inChemical and Biological

Internships are a great way toenable the implementation of this objective. They provide hands-on experience and help connectthe subject matter to practical applications. In experiential learning, students learn by doing andreflect on their learning [1]. Creative projects can help accomplish this goal. In this work, webring the benefits of the internship experience to the

The more complex theproject, the more functions the team performs, resulting in overlapping roles andresponsibilities [25]. A key factor here is allowing sufficient time between assessments forfeedback to be implemented, allowing members the chance to revise their strategies [16].Some of these challenges can be addressed through the use of templates, such as IDEALS[26], that provides a comprehensive assessment schema for team activities.
