propose several types of writing assignments such as journals,brainstorming, freewriting, and categorizing, that meet the needs of different learning styles toenhance learning. Felder and Brentv designed a variety of writing assignments that enhancestudents’ interest in course material and facilitate learning. Burrows et al.vi showed thatreflective journal enhances conceptual understanding and additionally improves learning ofcontent. Korgelvii found that journal writing exercises can improve deep learning and creativity.In the Chemical Engineering curriculum, Miller uses journal writing to foster the development ofhigher order thinking skills in a fluid mechanics course.viiiIn sum, writing assignments can be used as a tool to instill in students
their undergraduate study. Usually the class has a significant minority of chemists who have better exposure to mathematics and quantities problem solving. Students certainly did not have anything close to the usual prerequisite sequence that is typically required in a chemical engineering curriculum. This presents a challenge to teach fluid mechanics and mass transport in the absence of mathematics or basic quantitative problem solving abilities.iii) Another critical challenge is the general unavailability of instructional materials to teach fluid mechanics and mass transport to non-engineers. All available textbooks cater to the needs of chemical or other engineers and assume some prior knowledge in engineering and

The structure was modeled after astudy conducted on open channel flow, which incorporated qualitative interview results into thedevelopment of assessment materials to accompany hands-on learning cartridges.5 The processbegan with a search on previously identified misconceptions in fluid mechanics. Initial findingsindicate categories surrounding the Bernoulli equation, viscous momentum transfer, and massconservation in fluid systems are difficult but important fluid mechanics principles for students.10These findings were then summarized and reviewed by two professors with experience teachingthe course. Their input and feedback identified seven major areas where students struggle whichcould be addressed with the hands-on learning

Some students admitted they didnot understand all of the systems of the game, but they understood that performing optional taskswould be beneficial to their grade in the long run. Some students did not like that the game wasteam-based, as they felt that some of their teammates who did not contribute would be negativelyimpacting the amount of points students who were participating highly would earn.

In addition to that, innovative ways of technology werealso used to evaluate student learning and understanding of the material for grading and reportingpurposes. Many of the modern educational tools, including Blackboard Collaborate Ultra, Ka-hoot, linoit, surveys, polls, and chemical engineering processes’ simulations and videos were in-troduced to make the synchronous sessions interactive.
