analysis of several additional comics.Background Chemical engineering can be a difficult major for any student, given the complexity of the coreconcepts and frequency with which the subject matter can be highly theoretical. This challenge isparticularly difficult to address as an instructor, given the breadth of fields within chemical engineering,and the resulting range in depth of mastery that each student will need upon graduating. These challengesare similar to those facing current education in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math), inparticular the theoretical nature of some core concepts. Traditional approaches to support instruction,and establish connection between concepts and applications, include providing examples of real
