- Intense Course ModulesThis paper presents two new course modules that have been developed for junior-level ChemicalEngineering core courses: Chemical Reaction Engineering and Chemical EngineeringThermodynamics II. As currently offered at Rowan University, both of these courses integratesimulation and computer lab activities in which students devise models of key physical systems,and then interrogate the models to study cause-and-effect in these physical systems. Thesecomputer labs are an integral part of both courses, but the scope (one 160-minute period) limitsthe complexity of the models that can be used, if the students are required to build the modelthemselves. In the course modules described here, students will study two physical systems

Americas and First VP. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Model of Domain Learning Based Skill Assessment: Instrument Set Choice Flexibility & ComplexityThe assessment of students’ development in their professional skills has been discussed to bechallenging not only for the engineering curriculum but also in other undergraduate programs,including information sciences, business, and other disciplines. Given the importance ofdeveloping these skills in students, an assessment framework based on the Model of DomainLearning (MDL) is proposed. The use of MDL is aimed at providing flexibility and practicalityin the assessment of these skills. In this paper, the implementation

authors were not able to make any conclusions forOutcome h, noting the need for “further analysis” of this outcome [8]. Briedis [9] notes that theassessment of Outcome h was “less straightforward” than the other professional outcomes, and anew course had to be developed to address this outcome directly. However, most departmentsdo not have the flexibility or room to develop a new course specifically to address any singleABET outcome, much less Outcome h. In an already packed engineering curriculum, then, mostdepartments ascribe the development of contextual expertise to an early cornerstone or latercapstone design experience, or, alternatively, relegate the task to humanities and social scienceelectives that rarely are integrated with the

A call to action has been made to develop and support new educational programsfor the revision of STEM education into a more integrated model [2], [3]. To this end, guidingframeworks are necessary for identifying what concepts must be incorporated into such modelsto effectively teach STEM in an interdisciplinary manner. In particular, the Next GenerationScience Standards (NGSS) outlines the “crosscutting concepts” as the common tools and lensesshared across disciplines that may be used to bridge into alternative contexts [4], [5]. The NGSSfurther distinguishes “energy and matter” as a crosscutting concept with relevance across thefields of science and engineering. The first law of
