Distancing and On-line Learners Taryn M. Bayles Chemical & Petroleum Engineering Department University of Pittsburgh With the outbreak of the pandemic, our School of Engineering spent summer 2020 re-working our classes so that our students could have comparable class experiences whetherattending class in person or on-line. This presented a challenge on how to deliver a team centeredhands-on design project in our sophomore level material and energy balance course. As part ofthis project, teams are required not only to research, design, construct, evaluate, test and report ontheir product, but also to develop a mathematical model to predict their

Environmentally-oriented coursework often employs examples within the natural world’s subsystems (i.e., theatmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere) to demonstrate principles of masstransport, material and energy balances, and chemical kinetic phenomena. Notably, climate andatmospheric systems have provided a consistently topical and well-documented source ofinformation from which inspiration for

These coursesdeliver the principles of unit operations theory, the laboratory practices of which are usuallyemployed as a program capstone7. While a foundational Material and Energy Balance (MEB)course is typically the first to introduce students in these programs to the techniques of applyingtransient matter and energy balances, those systems are most commonly treated as spatiallyhomogeneous8,9. Limiting system analysis to a strictly temporal variation ensures that the only asingle ordinary differential equation (ODE), or a system thereof, will arise.The transport courses following MEB focus on fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and masstransfer/separations.

It is important to note that a core class in the CHBE curriculum iscalled “Material and Energy Balances”, and is likely a strong contributor to this difference.The theme “diagrams” also had a significant increase in frequency from the start to the end ofterm from 0 to 15. This theme would be expected to increase since it is the first term thatstudents start interpreting and creating chemical engineering diagrams such as block flowdiagrams and process flow diagrams. Some other themes that had similar trends of high increasebetween start and end are “equilibrium” (1 to 12), “process control” (2 to 21), “reaction ratelaw/kinetics” (3 to 16), and “separation techniques” (0 to 11).

In addition, extensive chapters wereprovided on design and costing of equipment for materials transfer and handling, heat transfer,mass transfer, and chemical reactions. In Peters and Timmerhaus, emphasis shifted from plantdesign to process design, but little attention was given to the synthesis of a process structure.Prior to the 1960s, the development, by practicing chemical engineers in industry, of a processdesign for a given process structure, including material and energy balances and overall sizing ofequipment, was carried out by hand calculations, which were often
