At CU-B most of theefforts associated with this center are located in the Department of Chemical Engineering(http://www.colorado.edu/che/c2b2/index.html). Recently, the CHEN degree added an option toallow students to gain competence in energy-related areas. The Energy Option allows studentsto select one of three core concentrations: fossil fuels or petroleum, photovoltaics, and biofuels.Course requirements for each option are shown in Table 1. Note that students pursuing thesecurriculum options have no remaining free technical electives in their 4-year B.S

To help theTAs, the author of this article taught a special topics course during the spring 2008 semesterbased on the ExCEEd teaching model. The purpose of the course was to introduce and exposeTAs to the ExCEEd teaching model and assess teaching effectiveness. Topics of the ExCEEdmodel were presented at weekly class meetings.

Second, it may be difficult for instructors to determine which fundamental,underlying concepts give students the most difficulty and prevent them from mastering coursematerial at the desired level.A strategy that has been used to address this problem in other fields is the development andimplementation of a Concept Inventory.
