The orientation provides information regarding institutional resources aswell as support and guidance to help integrate and acclimate new faculty.

- 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

The intent of the project is to generate within students a deep understanding of IPrequirements for creating novel, nonobvious, and non-infringing designs. In addition, the ESIP-Project is designed to teach IP concepts as they relate to engineering design, as well as criticalthinking skills and innovation. More specifically, students will be prepared to engage in prior artreview, identify what is needed to obtain enforceable designs, and apply strategies to avoidinfringement of existing patents.

To have innovation, theremust be integrative problem-solving, creative abrasion and creative agility. All of these aspectsare found in an engineering technology program. Creative abrasion is part of an institution’sculture where constructively challenging ideas are accepted.
