Also, these models are essentially “black boxes” where onlyinputs such as the pollutant mix or the initial concentrations are added. In order to enhanceunderstanding of fundamental chemical concepts, as well as to enable the use of computationaltools that students had ready access to, students were encouraged to set up their code either inPolymath[5], a computational program that is utilized in the “Essentials of Chemical ReactionEngineering” textbook [6] that is used in many chemical engineering programs

Traditionally, thetypical engineer or scientist type is introverted, sensing, thinking, and judging (ISTJ) type;therefore, courses are constructed to facilitate and appease these sensing types (see Table 1 fordescription of personality types).To meet today’s growing demands for quality professionals, there needs to be an ability tofunction in high performance interdisciplinary teams.
