Using a Game Based Learning Tool in a Freshman Chemical Engineering Course Nese Orbey1, Molly Clay2Problems that chemical engineers face on a daily basis involve many unknowns that need to be optimized. Toinitiate this concept early on in chemical engineering curricula, a game based software (developed by ProfessorTWF Russell, University of Delaware, http://www.mht.che.udel.edu) was used as a part of an introductory freshmanclass at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. The course was presented over a two week period with a lectureflowed by a lab session during each week.

In order to gain acceptance by the Reservists, the philosophy and structureof the program was one of inclusion. The starting point was to identify the interests and needs ofthe Reservists. The program then would identify the skills and knowledge that a Reservistpossessed, as well as any additional training necessary to achieve the desired career goal.Based on Reservists’ interests and skills, program participants tend to fall into one of three broadcategories.

toknow exactly what was amount of XP as well as revenue would be required to attain highmarks in the course. Thus, due to this in the next implementation students will be givenstrict requirements regarding minimal XP. This would transform into a rubric for gradingeffort (i.e. 3000 XP is a (Taylor, 2007)C; 4000XP is a B, and so on). It is known thatmost undergraduate students often dislike open ended or ill-defined tasks. The studentsshowed positive thoughts regarding that this was an engaging project, but someimprovements are available to be made. For example, over 36% of students thought thatthe Farmvile Challenge took more time that it was worth.
