Experiments and Blended Learning in Engineering Education: A Framework for AssessmentAbstractThis paper presents a comprehensive framework for refining desk-scale experiments andimplementing an impactful blended learning curriculum within the realm of chemical engineeringeducation. The primary focus is on evaluating the influence of these enhancements on studentlearning outcomes and the overall success of educational transformation initiatives. The studyaddresses two central research questions. The first question centers on improving the studentunderstanding of topics related to graphical flow characterization by using a desk-scaleexperimental module.
