An effective learningexperience in this course is required for a student to be well prepared to continue in a chemicalengineering program upon matriculation into a four-year institution. The evolutionary upgradeto the current compressed video distance-learning network in place across the Commonwealth isdescribed. A long-term plan to incorporate pedagogical elements, such as collaborative learning,critical to an effective Process Principles course, is also proposed.I.

Transportation engineering is an extremely diversefield that includes elements of economics, urban planning, statistics, sociology, electricalengineering, logistics, and other fields. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve any level ofdepth in an introductory course that will enable students to appreciate the intricacies of

Thestudents and advisors met with a local resident who acted as a guide to help identify locationswhere wind turbine noises could be collected. The students made decisions about where and howto set up the equipment, and they documented the details about the measurement site and weatherconditions. This data was collected specifically for use as samples in the psychoacoustic studythat the students were helping to plan and were responsible for completing.

Finally, opportunitiesfor undergraduate students to work in interdisciplinary project teams are even more limited andprimarily occur in Pathways electives.
