The first of these (Chemical Process Visualizer – ChemProV) isa software package developed to assist students in converting written descriptions into agraphical format and then into a mathematical representation. It also provides a singleformat for the communication of the solutions to material/energy balance problemsbetween students . The second software package (On-Line Studio-Based LearningEnvironment – OSBLE) provides a means whereby the ChemProV solutions can beshared between students in an asynchronous online

. Since this bridging course is offered on a different timetable (fall-spring) than the MSU course (spring-summer), starting in Fall 2018, it expands course offeringsfor interested students. Prospective students who complete the course sequence will be able tocount the two courses, 6 elective credit hours, toward a MS Chemical Engineering degree at NCState, which may be attractive to prospective graduate students.2. COURSE DESIGN AND DESCRIPTIONA significant initial challenge in developing the course was to determine the content. Thisrequired condensing six undergraduate courses (material and energy balances, two semesters ofthermodynamics, transport phenomena, and reactor design) down to two. It was determined thata good first step was to

To complement the coverageof batch operations and to familiarize students with additional concepts relating to batchoperations such as scheduling and intermediate storage, a short module in batch operation wasdeveloped for a senior design course.Integration of Batch Operations into the Existing Senior Design CurriculumThe senior design course at our University comprises two semesters.

approach byproviding a common tool and format both for solving material and energy balance problems, andfor presenting solutions to peers and instructors for feedback and discussion. This made it easierfor the groups to understand what the problem solver was trying to accomplish and thus easier tooffer suggestions about how to solve the problem. If the problem solver was stuck, groups couldcorrect any errors in the solution that was presented, or suggest alternatives to the solutionoffered. Attitudinal surveys indicated that the students liked the SBL format and felt they hadlearned from the experience.In order to make it possible to implement SBL asynchronously and online, we have integratedChemProV with OSBLE, an online learning management

Theweb site also displays a score for the student who takes the test and provides a chance to improvethis score after going through the topic notes, exercises, and examples in the ICC. Pre-testquestions are being revised and updated continuously. A future plan is to ask the students takingthe material and energy balances course in each semester to develop new concept questions andcontribute to the concept inventory.

We also had a need to include hands-on experiencewith process control in our curriculum and a desire to provide more hands-on experience in oursophomore material and energy balance and thermodynamics courses. We developed a versatilenew air flow experiment to accomplish all these goals.

In either case, this is likely toolate and the context typically identified with too narrow an application, either the macroscopicstead-state mass balance (an extensive application) or phase equilibrium (an intensiveapplication). And, in either case, the formalisms used most likely leave the student thinking that“degrees of freedom” are only applicable to that class of problem. In general, students are notintroduced to the degrees of freedom concept early enough, nor are they provided with multipleframeworks from which they can use the power of degrees of freedom as a pervasive problemsolving tool. Background ReviewA review of courses

comparison. We can make a few preliminary observations. First, the “Future”includes much more material in the systems category than we are suggesting here. For example,“Future” includes general modeling based on material and energy balances and many topics thatwe consider professional skills, e.g., ethics, globalization, intellectual property and so forth.While these topics are important, their link to PSE are tenuous; as a result, the systems topiccould be diluted into an “everything else” category that would not represent its centralimportance. Second, the “Future” proposes coverage of molecular level and multiscale topicsthat require further definition.
