2213 Teaching Chemical Engineering with Physical Plant Model at Cal Poly, Pomona K. H. Pang California State Polytechnic University PomonaA physical model is an exact replica of a real plant. Models are excellent teaching tools. During1996-1997, I have taken the initiative to revitalize the physical model of ARCO’s hydro-desulfurization plant, which was donated to the department many years ago, but was never used.Through my industrial contacts, I obtained the process flow diagram from ARCO and workedwith several students cleaning and re

These practices are all key elementsof the ETW, more because they are universal principles of how all students best learn,rather than being unique to a culturally diverse demographic. The Teaching and Learningseminar promotes these same principles while citing other sources3,26. The ExCEEdmodel was built on these principles. The concept of lesson objectives is so important thatan entire seminar is devoted to them introducing Bloom’s taxonomy5 to attain theappropriate cognitive level of the objective and providing a comprehensive list of actionverbs to help attain it.
