must betaught in the core courses [8]. According to a Summer/Fall 2015 survey of chemical engineeringprograms, only 23% of the 148 programs required a chemical process safety course [10]. Morerecent ASEE course surveys of Material and Energy Balances, Kinetics and Process Controlcourses indicate that 60-80% of those courses include a safety topic in the course [11, 12, 13].Core capstone courses are a natural fit for safety outcomes, as are upper level courses such asUnit Operations (UO) laboratories [7]. UO laboratories, as a core course that has designexperience and/or experiments within it, is an optimal place for safety outcomes to be covered.  It should be noted that the need for process safety education is not new; the challenge is

The course coverage includes 1st and 2nd law (building off apre-requisite material and energy balances course), equations of state, phase equilibrium,mixtures, and ideal/non-ideal VLE. Through three summer offerings, the authors have comparedstudent performance as measured through a common final exam and entering class average GPAat time of enrollment with that of students taking the traditional offering.

In three courses (chemical engineering material and energy balances,mechanical engineering thermodynamics, and a general engineering computing class), 95% ofstudents indicated that they felt more confident about the material after watching a screencast.Two comments from end-of-semester student surveys provide an indication of how students likescreencasts:  "They are a useful way to gain more guided practice, in addition to what we learn in class. The major benefit for me is that they are available 24/7, cover a range of topics in all of our classes, and present problems that we haven't seen before."  "Instead of passively reading an example problem on my own, screencasts are not only another valuable

Concept-based instruction (e.g., ConcepTests, concept inventories) often depends on high quality conceptquestions. These questions can be time consuming and difficult to construct, posing one of thebiggest barriers keeping faculty from implementing this type of pedagogy.7, 8This tool can be used throughout the core ChE curriculum (Material and Energy Balances,Thermodynamics, Transport Phenomena, Kinetics and Reactor Design, and Materials Science).Currently the AIChE Concept Warehouse has approximately 2000

design courses tend to focus on the formulation of steady-state modelsin which material and energy balances are obtained and unit operations are simulated. Theresulting knowledge allows equipment to be sized, operating costs to be evaluated, and overallplant economics to be estimated. Such information also provides the basis for producing apreliminary process flow diagram (PFD). The operation of the process at the design conditionprovides a single operating point, and, while off-design conditions are sometimes considered,they are often not taken into account in the preliminary design.In practice, the actual operating point of the process will rarely be at the design conditions.Moreover, the process will have to be started up and shut down many

Thisconcept should be addressed in the design course, as it is very process focused. There are avariety of tools for hazard identification; most incorporate risk assessment as part of the review.The “what-if” and “checklist” methodologies are adequate for providing a basic understanding ofhow events can lead to toxic material release, fire or explosion.
