usually harder to teach in a fully online environmentbecause of the need for laboratories, machinery, chemicals or equipment. The structure of theclassroom blended with the Web could be the answer for engineering education. Blendedlearning can be described as the optimum balance of online and face-to-face classes that fosterstudent learning at reasonable costs. The limited literature on blended learning is full ofexamples from all disciplines. A number of universities (State University of New York,University of Massachusetts, University of South Florida, and Penn State University) haveconverted entire programs to the blended format1. Other universities are considering the blendedformat as an option to increase student learning and decrease costs

experience is often metwith several challenges. Feisel and Rosa (2005) point out that engineering laboratories oftenlack clear objectives while engineering curricula have become more theoretical with a shift fromexperimental activities to computational simulations due to the relatively high cost of purchasingand maintaining laboratory equipment as opposed to the relatively low cost and increasingrealism of modeling software. However, there are many arguments for adding and strengtheninglaboratory components in the undergraduate curricula. For the students, laboratories present anopportunity to take concepts and formulae from lectures and textbooks and test them in acontrolled environment. In some cases, such as designing, mixing, and testing

Since the industrial sector is the “market place,” thecurriculum needs to address the communication-skill area. The obvious place to initiate thisadded emphasis is in the unit-operations laboratory course sequence. The second place is theprocess and plant design course.Improvement in the student’s written communicative skills is obtained through repetition.
