This allows robust evaluationof how the merger of traditional chemical engineering subjects with advanced nanotechnologyand biotechnology topics using a degree-project approach may better prepare students for today’sincreasingly molecular-oriented workplace.Introduction Education in Chemical Engineering (ChE) education is currently facing a crossroads.There is a disconnect between the curriculum (which is largely focused on unit operations, e.g.,heat exchangers, distillation columns, etc., and heavily geared towards commodity chemicals)and faculty research (which has recently emphasized nano- and bio-technology). Furthermore,there is a disparity between the courses

The reasonsfor such assessment range from desires to improve student learning to fulfilling requirements ofvarious accreditation bodies. But regardless of the reasons, the challenge is to develop suitablemetrics that can clearly identify areas that need improvement.In order to assess student learning, the Department of Chemical Engineering at Brigham YoungUniversity has outlined multiple

Then, we define PSE learning goals, andpresent the sequence of courses that address these goals. We
