0 1.9 64.0We have had first year students do this lab for the past seven years. We wondered if studentsremembered the technique later, so we asked some questions of sophomore chemical engineeringstudents. During the semester, 38 students in the Material and Energy Balances class were givena homework problem from the textbook8 (problem 4.13, 3rd edition). In this problem, thestudents must perform the same type of analysis as the fermentation lab, finding a regressionequation for exponential data. The students were asked to use Excel to find the equation and alsoto plot the data on a piece of log-log paper. Surprisingly, most of the students had troublecreating the paper plot (but had no trouble with the Excel regression

While a foundational Material and Energy Balance (MEB)course is typically the first to introduce students in these programs to the techniques of applyingtransient matter and energy balances, those systems are most commonly treated as spatiallyhomogeneous8,9. Limiting system analysis to a strictly temporal variation ensures that the only asingle ordinary differential equation (ODE), or a system thereof, will arise.The transport courses following MEB focus on fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and masstransfer/separations.

times at the end of the term. It is important to note that a core class in the CHBE curriculum iscalled “Material and Energy Balances”, and is likely a strong contributor to this difference.The theme “diagrams” also had a significant increase in frequency from the start to the end ofterm from 0 to 15. This theme would be expected to increase since it is the first term thatstudents start interpreting and creating chemical engineering diagrams such as block flowdiagrams and process flow diagrams. Some other themes that had similar trends of high increasebetween start and end are “equilibrium” (1 to 12), “process control” (2 to 21), “reaction ratelaw/kinetics” (3 to 16), and “separation techniques” (0 to 11).

Surveys of how key chemical engineering courses are taught havedetermined that within material and energy balances courses, ~44% include ethics, ~44% includesustainability, and ~62% include safety/health/environment [22].
