Procedure 1 500 kg of reactant A (MW = 100 kg/kmol) is added to 5000 kg of a mixture of organic solvent (MW = 200 kg/kmol) containing 60% excess of a second reactant B (MW = 125 kg/kmol) in a jacketed reaction vessel (R-301), the reactor is sealed, and the mixture is stirred and heated (using steam in the jacket) until the temperature has risen to 95″C. The density of the reacting mixture is 875 kg/m3 (time taken = 1.5 h). 2 Once the reaction mixture has reached 95″C, a solid catalyst is added, and reaction takes place while the batch of reactants is stirred. The required conversion is 94% (time taken = 2.0 h). 3 ………………………………………………………………………………………. 4

many educational challenges both for new recruitsand also to continuously update the skills of those employed. However, the main focusof this paper is with those who use the electronic products (category B in figure 1).It is easy to lose sight of the needs of the much larger workforce that designs, builds andsustains the electronic systems. One of the reasons is that the work is no longer limitedto one industry segment. Positions that use electronics skills are now to be found in awide range of industries including biotechnology, health-care, manufacturing,entertainment, automotive and consumer products. Electronics technology is a keyenabler of all of these contemporary industries and is their critical path to meet the

15.680.7Figure 4 shows that there was a slight increase in the scores on the spectroscopy question in Fall2009. However, it is hard to tell what is occurring, since the scores vary so much from year toyear. For this reason, we “normalized” the scores by dividing the score from the spectroscopyquestion by the score from the calculation question (Table 1). If, for example, class A did poorlyon both questions (i.e. 10 on both, out of 25) and class B did well on both (20), we may unfairlysay that class B was the better class and the teaching practices implemented within that classwere more desirable and well suited to the students. By normalizing, we would see that class Aand B were equal (1) and no conclusions about who had the better teaching practices

This assessment form is almost identical to theMultiple-Choice Quiz Question Checklist Form in Figure 1. One difference between the twoforms is that the checklist form items are written as questions and the assessment form items arewritten as statements. A second difference is that each item in the checklist form is evaluated ona 1 to 5 Likert Scale.
