In order to familiarize engineering educators with the most widely used pack-ages and to assist in the selection of the most beneficial packages to be used in corecourses in the chemical engineering curriculum, we have assembled a set of tenbenchmark problems. This problem set was utilized in conjunction with an ASEESummer School for Chemical Engineering Faculty which was held in Snowbird, UTin August of 1997. This paper will give a general overview of the benchmark problems that havebeen formulated and will identify the mathematical software packages that wereused in the problem solution comparisons.

integration of social justice topics in the engineering curriculum so that noneof the current instruction is sacrificed. To improve the projects, students suggested that they shouldinclude calculations in addition to research. Students also need to feel that the subject matter isworth their time since the engineering curriculum is heavy as it is. Explaining to students whysocial justice topics in engineering is important for this reason. In addition, students might feeluncomfortable discussing their opinions on different conflict matters with their peers. Providing anon-judgmental setting for students helps set the tone for an open discussion and allows all toparticipate.Based on the responses to Question 3, some motivating factors to engage in the

On the basis of my professional experience and my years as an adjunct associateprofessor at Queen’s it is interesting to look at how engineering education has changed, and theimpact these changes have had on undergraduate education. The Engineering Literature over theyears that I have been involved has had many articles calling for change. I personally found thedefinition of required change by John Prados (1991-92) ABET (1) president most significant. A new engineering education paradigm is required built around active, project-basedlearning, horizontal and vertical integration of subject matter , the introduction of mathematicaland scientific concepts in the context of application

A narrative arc is defined here as a student’sability to form a cohesive net of concepts, reasonings, and relationships that can be explainedwithout using formulae as a crutch. While being able to apply and understand mathematicalformulae is an invaluable tool for students, too often courses rely solely on the evaluation of themathematical formulae related to concepts instead of emphasizing the conceptual definitions andrelationships. This imbalance results in students being weak in the areas of explaining why andhow things happen using words and unable to formulate
