Starting in the Fall Semester of 2003 the coverageof topics was changed with students analyzing process dynamics and tuning first,followed by coverage of the mathematical aspects and then more recent

As of 2008, the SI model is used in 29 countries and over1500 universities [4]. SIs are considered a resource for both students and instructors to enhanceundergraduate courses. These PAL models, where certain students are selected to assist inenhancing education, were implemented at the University of South Alabama in the College ofEngineering (COE). The SI model is associated with the following courses: Statics, Mechanicsof Materials, Economics and Ethics, Dynamics, Engineering Thermodynamics, ElectricalCircuits, Fluid Mechanics, and Material and Energy Balances.

The initial part of the project involved a review of process development documentation and apilot plant visit to understand equipment issues. The basic data on raw materials, products,byproducts of the process were analyzed. Green engineering metrics for lab-scale (discovery),intermediate and pilot-scale processes were compared.

Students validated the lessened environmental impact of theirdesigns by calculating reduction of fossil fuel use, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions,and raw material consumption through material and energy balances. Thesecalculations directly correlate to the technical course content which provides real-worldexamples of how sustainability can be measured. They are
we look at chemical process design for zero waste,by reusing, recycling and/or renewing materials [11]. At the University of Toronto, sustainability topics have been vertically integrated into ourchemical engineering undergraduate curriculum through analyzing and/or designing a biodieselplant, whose elements/unit operations/principles have been discussed in several courses overdifferent years. In addition to this integration strategy, we have three design-related courses wheresustainability has been addressed: (i) CHE324 Process Design is a third-year course that introducesthe philosophy of chemical engineering design projects, including material and energy balances,design of unit operations, equipment specifications, and development

Technology to improve the problem-solving skills ofthe students while improving the conceptual understanding of material and energy balance [2].The study found that the PSS significantly enhanced both aspects in students.A subsequent study was carried out by one of the authors to teach facilities layout planning anddesign using an adapted PSS technique. The purpose was to improve students’ ability to uselayout planning techniques to generate facility layouts that meet customer requirements,specifically the ability to execute steps of the Systematic Layout Planning pattern. These includeacquiring the necessary input information, using the specific tools, generating alternativesolutions, and evaluating solutions using criteria that are important to

Over the course of the year, sophomores maycomplete Safety Modules in their material and energy balances, thermodynamics, andfluids courses. Juniors completed Modules in their heat and mass transfer, separations,and kinetics courses. Seniors might encounter Safety Modules in controls.Data CollectionThe pre survey was distributed at the start of the Fall 2018 term (in September 2018).The post survey was distributed at the end of the Winter 2019 term (April 2019). Thesurvey was left open for approximately 4 weeks before being closed; for the pre survey,this timeline was selected so students would fill out the survey before encountering anySafety Modules in their classes.

However, most of the learning of theseconcepts happened in interactions and visits to companies, government agencies, and/orcommunities to discuss how they implement technologies, policies, and/or engage inentrepreneur activities to implement sustainable technologies. Some examples of visits include asugarcane ethanol production plant, a biogas-producing landfill to produce energy

recitation sessionsattended by sophomores in ECHM 201. Recitation sections enroll approximately 20-25 studentsand are 50 minutes in length. In each session, the senior students will be tasked with helpingstudents as they work on a multi-unit material and energy balance problem using Excel. At thispoint in the semester, the sophomore students will have just learned the basics of material andenergy balances while the seniors will have applied a larger system-wide material and energybalance as a part of their design projects. The seniors will possess knowledge of the contextualrelevance of this exercise, having recently completed one of their own based on their designproject, while the sophomore students will be expanding on their newly acquired skills
