efficient design optimization because computational power isdirected to the aspects of design problems where simulation is most needed. In education, theintegrated approach transforms analytical solutions from equations on paper to dramaticallyillustrated solid models. Students can also use simulation to cross check analytical results. Whenused in the weekly homework assignments of a Solid Mechanics course at the Thayer School ofEngineering, students spontaneously questioned and discussed solution discrepancies. They weremotivated to re-examine their analytical methods and to question assumptions in simulation. TheCAD environment and simulation is in effect a digital laboratory for students to test solutionswith numerical experiments. The students

Gasification is one process that can be used to extract energy out ofthis biomass. Typically used with fossil fuels such as coal, gasification of biomass can generatesyngas, which is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Despite the increasing popularity of green engineering, full stand-alone coursesaddressing this topic would be difficult to insert into the already full chemical engineeringcurriculum. One potential way to expose students to green engineering is through the seniorlevel unit-operations laboratory. To this end, a new unit-operations lab experiment centered on the biomass

CAD sessions and the session material seeks to let the studentstest their knowledge in a practical manner. The course does not have a laboratory session attached tothe lectures, however as the instructor believes in the importance of hands-on experience using theCAD tools, the instructor added “CAD sessions”, which are separate from the in-class instruction andis dedicated to learning and working on the CAD tool. In the beginning of the course, the studentswere in the classroom for 3 hours of lectures a week. Later, the students were in the classroomfor 2 hours of lectures a week and were expected to spend 1 -1/2 hours per week outside theclassroom time on the software tools.The first CAD session, in the fourth week of the semester, was to

summative final assessment or exam, which is usedto help determine a grade. It is not used for feedback to improve student learning. Although themost common form of summative assessment is the final examination, some instructors structuretheir courses in units, and do a summative assessment after each unit. In that model, each unit ofthe course is essentially a self-contained mini-course.Midterm exams are frequently used for both summative and formative purposes. For example, ina course having two midterm exams and a final exam, the midterms may each be used todetermine ten to twenty percent of the final grade (while the final exam, laboratory scores,homework, and other items determine the remainder of the grade).
