The aim of this work is to share the instructionalapproach on safety and environmental compliance in our capstone course to obtain feedbackfrom other design education experts to improve our instruction.The need for enhanced process safety instruction in chemical engineering curricula has beenrecognized for a while in our discipline [1], [2], [3]. A greater awareness of this need resultedfrom the T2 Laboratories runaway reaction and explosion that occurred in Jacksonville, Floridain 2007 [4]. This event served as an impetus for ABET to specifically include process safety as arequired instructional component in chemical engineering curricula

Students were required to complete task-based challengesusing both the Robotis virtual platform and the physical humanoid robots.

The main benefits reported were positive changes in student behavior,including preparation and better use of time during labs by both the students and instructors.Although they focus on a non-engineering discipline, the classes use a hands-on lab. As such, thestudies’ conclusions may be pertinent for engineering disciplines with similar lab requirements.Vielma et al.[7] performed a study of best practices during COVID-19 stay-at-home instructionsand found that students’ preference is towards a flipped classroom model.
