1313 Bringing Active Learning into the Traditional Classroom: Teaching Process Control The Right Way David E. Clough University of ColoradoAbstractSince joining the faculty of Chemical Engineering at the University of Colorado in 1975, I havetaught the undergraduate course in process control 20 times. The course has always had alaboratory component, and, since 1994, this has been a full-featured 15-session laboratory. Theclassroom portion of the course was taught in a traditional lecture format until the Spring 1996semester. In the

He has over 25 years’ experience in Engineering Higher Education and research and also an award-winning teacher and active engineer. His academic qualifications allow him to coordinate successful research activities, but his true talent is teaching all students by engaging them in STEM by
in the CAED degree programs. As each program stands, there is already a highnumber of undergraduate course units to meet graduation criteria set by accreditation bodies,offering little flexibility in a department’s curriculum flowchart to create new courses to addressDEI. At present, some students take on extra elective courses in ethnic studies and related fields(beyond their degree’s general education requirements) to further their knowledge on DEI issues.The authors anticipate that similar challenges are experienced across faculty in built environmentprograms (and more broadly science, technology, engineering, and math - STEM) regardless ofthe U.S. region they serve or presence in a teaching or research-oriented institution.

cognitive loading for engineering and technology students. A maximum workingmemory loading for a student can be assessed with a design that compartmentalizes the longterm memory, short term information storage memory, and short term working memory for themanipulation of information. Innovative learning examples such as kinematics with algebraiccomplex numbers, relative velocity matrix transformation from 1-Dim to 2-Dim with createdcollision parameters, and collision with apparent mass from spring energy were delivered tostudents while the working memory cognitive loadings were controlled. Our assessment showedthat a critical thinking element is only recognizable after a student could reach the workingmemory capacity required in the solving of a

Because ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc.) usesit as a demarcation, the percent of each class that scored at least 70% on each exam was also analyzed.This is the only statistic that, by the eyeball test, shows any real difference between the sections. For thefirst two exams, more students in Professor B’s sections scored at least 70%, but this is reversed for thethird exam. Table 1.

. Enabled by technology and socialnetworking, the rapid proliferation of these detrimental strategies is increasing, and their longterm impacts are just now being fully realized. Based on our observations, the net effect is thatthe current level of learning is well below what is needed for an engineering graduate and muchlower than most currently-used course assessment methods would indicate. This is a world-widetrend, and its potential consequences are perilous.When implemented holistically, the SMART Assessment model has produced consistentlypositive results, irrespective of instructor or student cohort.
