course in detail so that other instructors can attempt to reform their own courses to teach students betterproblem-solving.Course Description:The course in question is a semester-long junior-level course in chemical kinetics and reaction engineeringat a highly selective public university in the western U. S. This was the first year of teaching for theinstructor and TAs of the course. The course covers reaction stoichiometry and homogenous kinetics,steady-state and time-dependent reactor design with material and energy balances, deriving reactionmechanisms and rate laws, and understanding transport limitations for heterogeneous catalysis. The coursegrade was comprised of graded homework sets (15%) and 3 midterm exams (16%, 17%, 17

did not experience changes during their internships during the summerof 2020. Although from an economic perspective, PPE might appear to be non-consequential, forconstruction, the additional PPE is an additional cost. More importantly, the difficulty in findingwork that was identified is quite essential. This finding indicates that internships during times ofeconomic change, whether sudden or due to an ongoing recession, affect students. Additionalresearch is required to determine if all recessions affect internships, as they are often required aspart of graduation requirements.References[1] Barr, A., Turner, S.E. and Danziger, S.(2013).

A very few universities, like McMaster University, employ bothteaching assistants (TAs) and instructional assistant interns (IAIs) along with instructors for acourse.With all university classes transitioning online from face-to-face, employing more teachingassistants might prove helpful, particularly for incoming first-year students whose needsoutweigh those of students
to leave engineering after their first year, half of thestudents remained at the University and selected a major in a different college and half left theUniversity altogether. While we do not want to keep students in a degree program that they arenot passionate about, we hope to continue to increase support for any student who struggles andencourage them to stick with engineering if it is the right choice for their future.References[1] Darbeheshti, M., & Schupbach, W., & Lafuente, A.

In reality, computerized thermodynamics tables havebeen in use since the 1960’s as the printed tables used in thermodynamics textbooks from thattime forward have been based on a computer solution to a many variable fundamentalthermodynamic function. As an example, when the author was an undergraduate student takingThermodynamics I and II, along with the textbook, students were expected to obtain a copy of“Steam Tables” by Keenan, Keyes, Hill, and Moore1. A large part of the instruction in the useof such printed tables was always related to the act of interpolating between table entries todetermine property values at temperature and/or pressure values between those presented in thetable.
