Conceptual design sketches are critical to thiscommunication. Most textbook homework problems provide the model as a given, so this is anextremely valuable experience in preparation for engineering practice.Material selection is an integral part of all engineering designs. While material selection is not atopic typically covered in elementary strength of materials courses, material behavior is coveredin a reasonable amount of detail.

A shift to integrating information, computational, and communications technology in educationIn the 50’s, industry demands for engineers required a change in the process of training andeducation of engineers. Engineering curricula and other phases of college programs were modifiedto provide an alignment between colleges and industry [4]. This evolution of the discipline movedacademic institutions to have a more dynamic and adaptive curriculum.

Metrology is thescience of measurement and it is a well-established discipline that is used to gain valuableproduct and process information. To be productive, this information must generate knowledgethat is used as a basis for better product and process design.Much of today’s industry and technology relies on accurate measurement.

Alternatively, if the level in a suction drum that feeds a pump drops too low, thenthe operator in the field can go to that vessel and actually hear the pump cavitating. Similarly,leaks and spills can be simulated in the ITS and students experience the consequences ofemergency response techniques to mitigate these upsets without the danger involved inperforming similar drills in the real plant.As the integration of 3D-immersive training systems becomes more popular, the integration ofthese systems into the chemical engineering curriculum seems a natural move.

These retention rates represent an unacceptablesystemic failure to support student learning in the field.” (p. 40).Noteworthy is that research has shown that predictors of retention change throughout the firsttwo years of an engineering program and predictors of graduation vary across universities.2Tinto’s3 Student Integration Theory posits that students enter university with varied backgroundcharacteristics and goal commitments which in turn influences their

Students were highly motivated tocomply with the assessment requirement because 10% of their grade was based on theirachievement of the benchmark assessment level set for their course. These levels were 40% forPrecalculus and 70% for Calculus. Each university paid for one assessment for the students, andstudents were allowed to re-assess as many times as they wished.

analysis scripting tool, such as R. Use of a scriptlanguage was a challenge on its own. CEE students are required to take an introductorycomputing class in the CS department, which currently covers coding in Python and MATLAB,but this class was not a pre-requisite for the ER&U class in the considered semester. Therefore,my assumption was that the student body of the class (similar to those in previous semesters) hadlimited coding experience. For this reason, R was introduced as an “smart app, useful toscientists and engineers” and it was integrated in a guided form, using base R functions, asneeded for class purposes. R is taught through its use for the purposes of the class, not as anindividual class topic.2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
