Choose Your Own Kinetics Adventure: Student-Designed Case Studies for Chemical Reaction Engineering Course Projects Ashlee N. Ford Versypt School of Chemical Engineering, Oklahoma State UniversityAbstractThis paper presents an innovative approach for a chemical reaction engineering course project.The project tasks students to conduct the preliminary design of a reactor or series of reactors toproduce a chemical product of their choice. The constraints on this open-ended “choose yourown project” are that the chosen process must involve a catalyst, multiple reactions, and heattransfer. The students must use published kinetics and physical property data from the literature,heat
Adding Reflection and Oral Communication to a Design Project – Work in ProgressReflection-in-action was encouraged in a junior-level design project by providing a competitor'sdesign to teams. Students then compared their designs to the competitor's design in an oralpresentation. The competitor's design had calculations errors and a different, less expensiveprocess than most of the students chose to use. Interesting questions developed as studentscompared their designs to that of the competitor. Methods, transferability, pitfalls, and futurestudies are discussed in the paper.IntroductionA colleague [placeholder for blind review] and I have taught similar junior-level courses atdifferent universities for a

Mediators were allowed to ask questionsof either party to help them with their decision. Sometimes Mediators would ask questions thestudents in the other groups would not be able to answer with the available case informationwhich resulted in some frustration. However, this allowed for further instructor emphasis andpost-debate discussion on the need to document everything during a construction project so therewill be documentation available in the event of future claims.After all Mediator questions are asked, both Constructor and Owner/Designer student groups leftthe room and the student Mediators then caucused to determine their resolution of the case.
