The intent of this course is to forma bridge between the abstract mathematical formalism presented in statistics classes and theprocess technology of chemical engineering. This approach is especially useful for the morehands on learners, many of whom go on to be process engineers.Chemical Process Statistics provides a brief introduction to the use of applied statistics in thechemical process industry. Whenever possible, concepts are introduced through examples.Industrial data has been provided by Merix and Hewlett-Packard, on copper and tantalum etchprocesses, respectively. Thus, concepts discussed in class are immediately applied to

. While these types of events still occur, recent technology advances have provided even more avenues for unacceptable academic behavior. Devices such as iPods, PDAs, cellular phones, and even some calculators can “instant message” within the classroom. They also store volumes of text and can connect to the internet. In addition, textbook authors and publishers now routinely provide end of chapter answers and exam question pools for instructors which have been illicitly obtained by students. In some cases, a naive educator will make it even easier for students to cheat by posting these items on an open website for the entire world to see. Given the extraordinary efforts that students will go to

With provensuccess with PBL and DBL, engineering educators can choose to implement this technique indifferent ways.There are several approaches that engineering educators have used to implement PBL and DBLinto their curriculum. One option involves using sequenced courses working on a single projectwithin a consistent engineering cohort. In his paper, Fumo utilized this implementation byrequiring students in a thermal-fluids lab course and a measurements lab course to designcomponents for use in their Capstone design course12.

Some students start learning this information through a shroud of confusion or partial understanding. In this technological society, professors are inventing ways to engage their students while maintaining the integrity of engineering education. The discussion of results from a collaboration between several universities determined that students may not always understand a topic or how it can be applied in industry.
