Pharmaceutical Manufacturing into the Chemical Engineering CurriculumAbstractOver the past several years we have explored ways to incorporate concepts of pharmaceuticalengineering within the chemical engineering curriculum. Our initial efforts in this area have beendirected towards the integration of these concepts in freshman and sophomore level courses. Thisprovides an experience that reinforces core educational objectives and increases student interestin the pharmaceutical field. This paper is a continuation of our educational methodsdevelopment, and will describe several pharmaceutical and consumer product educationalmodules. These modules include both laboratory and course-related activities for both lower andupper-level
time. Contemporary manufacturers have the option of selecting optimumtechnologies or processes to suit their manufacturing environment. Fast paced transformations inEngineering Technology (ET) field require new and enhanced learning and teaching strategies inengineering technology curriculum. More than ever, the educational advance is leaning towardsmeeting the demands of industrial world. Engineering Technology curricula needs to adapt tonovel technologies and modern tools by enabling students to acquire meaningful and relevantpractices. Laboratory activities should be incorporated into dry-lectured courses, being vital toET programs, since they are ultimately enhancing the understanding process, leading towardsdeveloping experience-led
fourcredit hour semester course that consists of three 50-minute lectures and a 2-hour associatedlaboratory each week, and is considered one of the core courses in the Electrical Engineeringcurriculum. The course covers electric circuit analysis techniques in addition to certain aspects ofcircuit design. The objectives of the course include circuit analysis, design, simulation, and datagathering and analysis in the laboratory. The circuit analysis portion emphasizes proficiency inthe analysis of DC and AC circuits, which include circuits theorems and analysis techniques,operational amplifiers, first-order transient analysis, ideal transformers, and balanced three-phasecircuits. The design objectives in the course include design and construction of

indications that technologists and engineers are active learners and therefore hands-onexperiences are an important part of their education [11]. In order to facilitate hands-on learningin the MET course of dynamics, we propose to design and fabricate several manipulativephysical models of selected linkages or mechanisms that students frequently encounter in theirstudy of dynamics and will also encounter regularly in the real world. Sirinterlikci and Kerzmann[22] have described an educational initiative involving developing laboratory kits that wouldallow the mechanical engineering courses ENGR 1010 - Introduction to Engineering and ENGR2160 - Engineering Graphics to utilize the same kits for numerous laboratory sessions.Simulations and/or
student teams work out theirinterpersonal problems only to then be faced with hours of grading lengthy reports. And,although the students only have to complete the work once, for faculty, the cycle repeatsannually.Two years ago, we attended a presentation on gamification in a laboratory course 1. Although theplan used in that paper did not suit us, the idea of adding an element of fun and competition tothe Unit Ops Lab had a certain appeal. We brainstormed ways to incorporate the game conceptand fix some of the small annoyances of teaching the lab courses. The small gamificationaddition was dubbed “Bragging Points”. The idea would be to recognize the students for doingsomething right (that they probably should have been doing anyway) and let them

Because these contexts are more applied and more realistic than whatstudents encounter in typical mathematics and statistics classes, however, data analysistasks embedded within STEM activities can create for students different obstacles as wellas potentially creating new opportunities to learn. Thus, understanding the ways in whichstudents engage with data in applied engineering and science activities is an importantstep in helping to maximize the learning opportunities inherent in integrated STEMsettings.

second major undertaking was repurposing the laboratories that support the ENES 100 course to better reflect the new project. For example, hot wire cutters and a small wind tunnel that were used extensively for the hovercraft project were placed in storage and drill presses and mechanical fastening tools were purchased for the OSV project. Additional laboratory modifications included developing the vision system and building inlab test beds (7 x 14 ft sand boxes). A notable shortcoming in the project transition was the lack of time and expertise to Page 26.95.9develop laboratory equipment to test the output of motors or the wheelsand
