, a proposal was submitted in2013 to the Kansas Soybean Commission called “Beyond the Book: Active Learning throughBiodiesel (#ALT-B)” to develop a freshman course which would include a laboratory componentcentered around the production of biodiesel. Students would be exposed to all of the processesand chemical engineering concepts related to biodiesel production including reactions,separations, fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, process control, thermodynamics, and materialand energy balances. The goal was to introduce students to the fundamental concepts at a highlevel while providing an opportunity to see how the concepts are integrated while exploring in ahands-on laboratory. The production of biodiesel was selected because the

Howeverfundamental it may be to engineering students, SHM is one of the more demanding topics andoften misunderstood. Researchers found that passive instruction by talented teachers imparted littleconceptual understanding of Newtonian mechanics [1]. Good physical insight can lead to a deeperunderstanding of displacement and oscillation, which is a pervasive phenomenon in STEM. Eachcourse module has two parts: a) three virtual lecture classes with PowerPoint presentation ontrigonometry, wave motion and MATLAB coding and b) a hands-on lab exercise using a mass-spring system and the phone app
andstyles, but there was no attempt to unify any of the classes. The primary point of similarity wasthat all the surveys and exam questions administered in this study were the same and were madetogether. All the exam questions were presented in a multiple-choice format to reflect the mostcommon method of questioning on the FE exam.University A required students to take the FE exam and students were reimbursed for the examcost if they passed. At University A, most senior students (approximately 75% or more per year)in civil engineering take the FE review course and depend on it as their sole source ofpreparation for the exam. Universities B and C strongly encouraged students to attempt the FEexam prior to graduation. At University B, review sessions

) into Learning Management System (LMS) based“quizzes,” b) develop sketching problems for the modules that previously did not have them, and c)compile a “sketching only” workbook suitable for use in the spatial skills course. The rationale behindthis decision was as follows: ● As we moved to online instruction, one significant criticism levied against universities was the increased cost that was an especially difficult burden for students from low SES groups. Since these are some of the students targeted for spatial skills instruction, a brief workbook would be less expensive than requiring them to have a printer and toner, a touch-screen computer/tablet, or a stylus for sketching. ● There is evidence
society’s complexproblems. Introducing systems thinking in the context of reality-based projects can equipstudents with critical tools and expose students to working across disciplines which will greatlybenefit them in their careers.References[1] A.
