Most importantly, however, at some point in the project they will have to makesome of their own decisions. There will be more than one way to attack the problem, and thestudents will have to make appropriate assumptions, research several alternatives, use commonsense and think both logically and physically in order to arrive at a practical solution. If thisproject accomplishes its goal, the chemical engineering curriculum at Penn State University willtake a step away from being a mere extension of theoretical science and a step toward being anactual preparation for a career in thoughtful problem-solving and design.1 IntroductionLike many
