His website is: http://www.utoledo.edu/engineering/chemical-engineering/liberatore/ American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Attitudes Toward and Usage of Animations in an Interactive Textbook for Material and Energy BalancesAbstractThe concept of active learning or “learning by doing” is applied through animations within aninteractive textbook. A Material and Energy Balance (MEB) course for undergraduate chemicalengineering students has generated large data sets by using an interactive textbook fromzyBooks. MEB is a foundational course that includes new terminology, the basic principles ofmass and energy

-chapter problems in a material and energy balances courseAbstractOnline homework and interactive textbooks provide big data that can help address manyquestions about student engagement and learning. Auto-graded homework questions withrandomized numbers and content can explore students’ proficiency in course material. Using afully interactive online textbook, Material and Energy Balances zyBook, success and attempts onhomework questions are quantified. In past studies, students with an unlimited number ofattempts completed a median of 94% correct over hundreds of questions. To provide studentswith more practice before exams, end-of-chapter problems were assigned. Students were onlyassigned a fraction of these summative, end-of-chapter problems. A

problems substituted homework from textbook, students recorded improved learningattitudes [21, 22]. YouTube problems are qualitatively similar in content with textbook problemsand could be administered as in class, homework, quiz, or exam problems. This study is limited todeployment of YouTube problems as homework pertaining to reacting systems with recycle — atopic in Material and Energy Balances course.2. Methodology2.1 YouTube ProblemsThe YouTube pedagogy was implemented in a Material and Energy Balances course, which is anintroductory freshman/sophomore-level course in most chemical engineering programs. Whilemany problems that were not part of the current study were completed by students, we consideredonly problems covering the topic of

introduction to work done by professional chemicalengineers, the resources available to help them be successful at KU, the curricular requirementsand expectations of chemical engineering students, and possible career opportunities; 2) anintroduction to engineering ethics, basic safety considerations, teamwork, and technical writing;and 3) an introduction to basic material and energy balances and fluid flow. This course was theonly chemical engineering course the students took during the freshman year. While teaching the first semester sophomore Material and Energy Balance course between2009 and 2012, students often remarked that the freshman class was boring and that they still didnot understand what chemical engineers did. Based on this feedback

competencies developed in chemical engineering(CHE) programs has grown. To adequately address this problem, the authors’ goal is tosynergize industry-student-academic integration by enculturating classrooms with connections toindustrial realities. Implementation of this model is particularly important in the early years ofthe curriculum. As the first step, the authors are working on designing and incorporating up-to-date industry problems as assignments in a course on “Materials and Energy Balance”. Theauthors have been working with industry mentors from various areas of the chemical engineeringfield to design up-to-date application-based problems/projects for the selected CHE class. Twoindustrial mentors with different areas of expertise were

remains unchanged since at least the middle of the 20th century4-6. These coursesdeliver the principles of unit operations theory, the laboratory practices of which are usuallyemployed as a program capstone7. 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.

course in detail so that other instructors can attempt to reform their own courses to teach students betterproblem-solving.Course Description:The course in question is a semester-long junior-level course in chemical kinetics and reaction engineeringat a highly selective public university in the western U. S. This was the first year of teaching for theinstructor and TAs of the course. The course covers reaction stoichiometry and homogenous kinetics,steady-state and time-dependent reactor design with material and energy balances, deriving reactionmechanisms and rate laws, and understanding transport limitations for heterogeneous catalysis. The coursegrade was comprised of graded homework sets (15%) and 3 midterm exams (16%, 17%, 17
