, 2023Prioritizing learning outcomes for chemical engineering laboratory coursesAbstractChemical engineering laboratory courses allow students to work hands-on with equipment theymay see in industrial positions. These courses often account for learning outcomes related toexperimentation, teamwork, and communication skills, among others. To work towardsalignment of laboratory courses with industrial needs, it is necessary to understand 1) thelearning outcomes currently addressed in laboratory courses and 2) how key stakeholdersperceive the importance of specific laboratory learning outcomes. Therefore, three surveys weredesigned based on thirteen proposed learning outcomes for engineering laboratory courses thatwere identified in the literature [1]. The

For instance, a pre-lab/post-lab comparison doesn’tfully demonstrate the effectiveness of TDA in relation to standard practice. Thus, we willintegrate a “true” control to better understand the impact of TDA in the teaching and learningenvironment. Additionally, this short-term study did not assess longitudinal retention of skills insubsequent courses. If self-efficacy is what we are truly trying to achieve, longer term studiesshould be incorporated to fully assess reinforcement and impact. [12]ConclusionThe TDA

importance of relying on real-world behavior to guide understandingand engineering design.One of the guiding principles for the design of lab activities for this project was that lab activitiesare most effective if they align closely with concepts and principles taught in class. In addition,lab activities should allow students to visualize, experience, and clarify confusing concepts. Tothis end, equipment should be as simple as possible so that students don’t get lost in aspects ofthe experiment that are not at the core of the phenomena studied. Unnecessary programs, gad-gets, tools, or assembly should be avoided when possible. Further, sufficient equipment needs tobe provided so that students can all conduct experiments first-hand, rather than

The primary focus is on evaluating the influence of these enhancements on studentlearning outcomes and the overall success of educational transformation initiatives. The studyaddresses two central research questions. The first question centers on improving the studentunderstanding of topics related to graphical flow characterization by using a desk-scaleexperimental module.

This number reduced to an even lower 1percentage of 5.2 in the next five years (1998-2002) [3].
