Warehouse (CW) is a database-driven website developed to lower theactivation barrier for faculty to use conceptual instruction and assessment so that many morechemical engineering faculty incorporate concept-based learning into their classes. Concept-based instruction (e.g., ConcepTests, concept inventories) often depends on high quality conceptquestions. These questions can be time consuming and difficult to construct, posing one of thebiggest barriers keeping faculty from implementing this type of pedagogy.7, 8This tool can be used throughout the core ChE curriculum (Material and Energy Balances,Thermodynamics, Transport Phenomena, Kinetics and Reactor Design, and Materials Science).Currently the AIChE Concept Warehouse has approximately 2000

Students use their own gas exchange respiration data tocalculate their rate of energy expenditure and mechanical efficiency during cycling. They usereaction stoichiometry to determine the quantities of fats and carbohydrates that are used asenergy sources. They apply energy balances to determine the rate of heat transfer throughrespiration, and compare this to the total energy expenditure. Finally, students create

Other, seemingly more pertinent specifications lead to unstable and unreasonable answers requiring excess student time as they follow false paths. These types of restrictions also help students to focus on material and energy balances as underpinnings to any chemical engineering solution.) • Restrict material balance solutions to an external program or spreadsheet so that they must put their specifications into another program.
