Brigham Young UniversityIntroductionIn this paper, we describe an innovative approach to combining research and curriculumdevelopment for the field of chemical engineering. The methodology has the potential to define anew paradigm for instruction in rapidly-evolving fields such as molecular simulation,computational chemistry, biochemical engineering, and materials science. Our immediate aimhas been to initiate a World Wide Web (WWW)-based “textbook” on molecular simulation, andto introduce it into the graduate and undergraduate chemical engineering curricula at ourrespective institutions. The textbook will have the additional role of a refereed electronic journalthat elaborates on important new developments and applications as they appear in the

In the 1990’s, however, financial changes occurred within the university thathave made it harder for our school to obtain the needed additional base funds to bring our facultysalaries to the level of our peer institutions. We realize that there is a need to explore otheravenues to reward faculty, especially in light of the fact that increases to base funding in highereducation remains difficult to acquire.In this paper, we outline the development of a compensation plan specifically designed to attract,retain, and motivate faculty. In order to do this, we will first look at the challenges and changeshigher education faces pertaining to

Our new focus combined previous efforts in engineeringscience fundamentals with open-ended and economically driven problems. Theseproblems aimed to enhance student learning while developing interpersonal, problemsolving, learning, and communication skills. PBL and our expanded expectations resultedin improved behavioral and skill outcomes. We argue that the Problem-Based approachwas particularly well suited to laboratory application and should be considered as a modelfor replacing traditional laboratory methods.
