To ensure theteaching quality of the outcome based mechanical engineering program, systematicassessment of engineering curriculum is needed. More importantly, faculty needs to improveteaching techniques so that the student learning of each course can be measured againstprogram outcomes.

engineering positions.ResultsP1’s Mental ModelThe concept map representation of P1’s mental model is shown in Figure 1. The focus of P1’smodel of voltage and current is through the mathematical relationship, V = I * R (where V =voltage, I = current, and R = resistance), or its permutation, I = V / R. The three variables in theequation are treated as mathematical quantities, with no direct reference to anything physical.Thus, in the first equation, when V changes, I must change proportionately; but in the secondequation, if I increases, then V must increase and R must decrease. P1 states that this only workssome of the time, but P1 does not know what to do when it does not. The terms “voltage” and“current” are often used together, with the idea that

In addition, theadvent of process simulators in the 1970’s and 1980’s had a huge impact on the way thatsenior design is currently taught. This paper summarizes the author’s selection of themost effective, innovative approaches for the capstone design course reported recently inthe literature or discussed at previous conferences. The challenges associated withteaching senior design, and approaches successfully applied to address these challenges,are also described.IntroductionThe senior design course in chemical engineering typically includes both

Engineering is a discipline that teaches andtrains young minds in purification, separation and isolation in a broader sense for processindustries. From an environmental point of view, pollution prevention is the study ofcontaminant purification (P), separation (S) and isolation (I), which we call PSI. These are theunderlying activities that will be used to tackle the contamination problem in its totality. This is aformidable task for a single chemical engineering department in a nation of 130 million people,where meeting the basic necessities of life is by itself a war for existence.However, a solution to these problems is certainly not possible without strong leadership fromthe country’s technical leaders.

The problem sets described in this paper were developedfor introductory chemical engineering course(s).The formatting, layout, style and focus of the problems are based on those of the widely usedtext, Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes, 3rd, by R. Felder and R. Rousseau 6.Courses taught with a different textbook may still use the problems since they cover topics suchas units and conversions, material balances with and without reaction, single and multiphasesystems, and energy balances. To allow professors to integrate easily these problems into theirclasses, we have “mapped” them to specific chapters
