These areareas that students may easily relate to in their everyday lives. Methods by which the tools can beemployed in alternative scenarios are also discussed.Introduction Chemical kinetics and reactor design courses can be augmented through the use ofexample problems that are simplified enough, yet relate to real-world scenarios. The study of airpollutant formation and control provides example problems that may be used to reinforceconcepts of reaction order, rate expressions, material balances, and the effects of reactor systems,while simultaneously allowing

traditional class lectures can be enhanced by turning theminto “interactive class lectures”. Interactive class lectures diffuse active learning opportunitiesthroughout traditional class lecture and across the class time period. Interactive class lectures includeopportunities for student interaction with their peers and the instructor. This helps students begin towork towards active learning that promotes development, evaluation, and revision of informationnetworks used to understand the real world and learn how to implement theories into practicalapplications8.Think-pair-share is a teaching strategy that promotes active and collaborative learning; however, theeffectiveness and applicability of this strategy in its original or altered form remain to

IntroductionIn the undergraduate teaching process, both instructors and students often get bored solvingsimple textbook problems that have limited connections to the real world and require little,if any, imaginative thinking to solve. To increase student interest as well as the student’s owncreative, hands-on, problem-solving skills, a unique and innovative approach utilizing open-endedprojects has been developed that pushes students to their creative limits

Kolb’s experiential learning model is based on such transactions,where knowledge is created through the transformation of external, real-world experiences. Oneform of incorporating real-world experiences involves service learning, where students areactively involved with community-based experiences meeting one or more societal needs. It wasposited that repurposing the software application project to incorporate service learning conceptscould better serve the students involved. Therefore, in 2014 the project was revised in the spiritof experiential learning to meet the

) highconductivity, 2) a high melting point, 3) low density, and 4) corrosion resistance. In regards toconductivity, the metal must be able to conduct a lot of energy out of the engine to cool theengine effectively. Furthermore, dealing with a lot of heat energy, the metal used must have ahigh melting point so it keeps its shape and does not denature, which would ultimately hinder theeffectiveness of the metal’s conductivity. Also, the metal must have a low density because in thecase that the engine is applied in the real world (to planes and in transportation), a lighter metalwould enable vehicles to use less power and energy (for example, less gas needed to haul theplane with a lighter metal used in the engine), which would, in turn, be more efficient
