Students choose which chemical engineering systems they want tostudy (out of four possible options), spending four hours each week in the laboratory and onehour each week in lab-lecture. Each experiment involves multiple unit operations, which leads tosome variation in the student experience due to division

chemical engineering curricula in line with professionalconcerns [1], many laboratory experiments have remained relatively unchanged. One reason forthis is the high cost of laboratory equipment that prevents most departments from purchasingnew equipment unless necessary. As much of the laboratory equipment is fixable by replacingparts, it is not uncommon for teaching laboratories to have the same equipment for decades. Forexample, in one of our study sites, the valve used for an experiment on level control on a watertank is being replaced, which is not an uncommon occurrence. However, that particular valvewas manufactured in 1947 and has been used on that exact experiment since 1952 (Figure 2).Likewise, a set of packed-bed columns have been used

This choice could conceivably add a small butindeterminable overestimation of faculty teaching loads.If a professor taught multiple sections of the same class, the faculty was attributed credit for theclass multiple times. In contrast, faculty who taught multiple laboratory sections were onlygiven credit for one section. It was found that some departments offer many laboratory sectionsattributable to multiple faculty members, where it’s unclear how workload is divided. So, if eachlab teaching professor was given credit for each lab course they would have a significantlyhigher credit count than their lecturing peers. These choices could respectively overestimate

The most common approach has been to incorporatelearning modules on ethics in the context of process safety [5]. The way in which process safetyis taught to students depends on the department (and university), with some schools having adedicated process safety course while others teach it as part of the senior design course. Teachingstudents about the concepts of ethical decision making in the context of process safety makes sensefrom an educational perspective, in part, due to the ongoing efforts to instill a culture of safety inall young chemical engineers [5].
