MATLAB has anextensive collection of built-in functions, toolboxes, and visualization capabilities well-suited toSTEM applications. Python is open source and is emerging as the standard language for openscientific computing. “The learning progression across two programming languages is critical todeveloping a student’s ability to generalize across various computational tools”[2]. Thus, we usedboth MATLAB and Python for the course. With competency in both of these languages, studentscould extend their skills into other languages such as C, Java, or FORTRAN as needed.This paper is written in a “steal this course

The respondents with PhDs had more years of experience (35% over 21 years),while those with a BS degree tended to have less experience (45% less than 5 years).After the initial questions on the background of the respondent, the first question asked, “whichof the following is most appropriate for your industry?” Using computer applications was themost important computing tool for industry with over 60% choosing this option. The otheroptions of statistics/analytics, programming, and machine learning were ranked as less important.As seen in the 1997 and 2003 surveys nearly all chemical engineers use

introduce students to the career while ensuringthat they have the necessary background skills (unit conversions, graphing, etc.). ChE 1013 is athree-hour course taught in the spring semester. The students learn to program with Excel andVBA and use these skills in a design project and competition. The design project varies fromyear to year but always involves students designing and running their own experiments to controla chemical reaction for a defined purpose. This is potentially chaotic, but small class sizesenable the professor to manage this in a safe and beneficial manner. In 2008, the enrollment inChE 1013 exceeded the available space in the largest computer classroom and the instructor’sability to safely manage the design project and

The other class time, not attribute to active learning,consisted of the instructor lecturing, verbally responding to questions from the studentsand verbally posing questions from the students.

Students interact with the facilitator of learning (i.e.,the professor), classmates, TAs, and even former instructors and vendors. Projects, primarily team-based,may be theoretical, computational, or experimental in nature and in some cases a combination of these arealso used. For those versions of Hi-PeLE that use an innovative and creative student-centered component(part of the Linear Engineering Sequence, LES) a working prototype of a proposed device may berequired as an outcome. Furthermore, a course offered in a Hi-PeLE format may involve studentparticipation in reading and/or discussion in formal or

The other was taught initially in a manner that attempted to simply removethe hands-on component of the pedagogy. In response to student feedback, this was shifted to an inter-group collaborative environment with each group providing hands-on demonstrations for the rest of theclass. As shown by a focus group study, survey, and end-of-semester written course evaluations, thestudents in the CHAPL section showed greater enthusiasm for the course.
