the reports withliterature figures gave proper credit.However, another instructor observed that students who had this assignment in their first year dobetter at including proper citations in a paper required in our material and energy balance classduring their second year. The instructor also observed that they seem more comfortable with alibrary research assignment in a technical class than students from earlier years before this first-year writing assignment was introduced. All indications are that this assignment is effective atencouraging students to use the library. Page 7.942.5 Proceedings of the 2002 American Society for

First, since the ultimate goal of this project is to include CAMS in everyundergraduate chemical engineering class, we have decided to teach the basics for many of thesecomputer programs in a single required sophomore-level class, Computer-Aided Modeling andSimulation, which will be offered concurrently with our material and energy balance course.This class will be offered for the first time in the Spring 2001 semester.
