The course was planned during the academic year 2022-23 and launched inthe fall of 2023, defined as a three credit units’ elective course, with three 50-minute sessions perweek, to be taught by one faculty assisted by one teaching assistant (graduate student). Thecourse was targeting junior and senior students in the chemical engineering career, with someprevious knowledge on mass and energy balances, separation processes, thermodynamics, andorganic chemistry. The enrollment was surprisingly high with 31 juniors and 18 seniors, about50% of the

After workingtogether to analyze and frame the problem, students create a plan for acquiring the knowledgeand skills necessary to solve the problem that includes setting specific learning goals, identifyingrequired resources, establishing a timeline, and monitoring their knowledge and comprehension.During this process, the instructor serves as a facilitator or consultant, guiding students throughthe problem solving process and providing instruction on an “as needed” basis.Once the required knowledge has been acquired, students reconvene to share what they havelearned and brainstorm possible solutions where ideas are openly exchanged

Pioneering research by Light (Light, 2004) has also shown that the amount ofwriting in a course is more strongly linked to increased student engagement than any othercourse characteristic. So apart from the obvious practical importance that engineers should beable to write well, there is also substantial learning that takes place through the process ofthinking and planning that is required for good writing. The learning associated with writing issimilar to the learning associated with teaching, as both involve the organized communication of Page

Differing from other group-based learning approaches, teams in team-based learningare permanent for the duration of the semester in order to maximize team development andsynergy. For my course of 11 students, two teams were formed. Students were lined up aroundthe perimeter of the classroom by asking several questions that identified student talents relevantto the course material, especially experience related to the planned application problems. Teams“1” and “2” were then formed by counting off 1-2-2-1-1-2… to evenly distribute student talentsbetween the teams. The specific questions asked were

Language became a medium for bothcommunication and connection, as multilingual teaching allowed students to engage more fullyand feel seen in their identities.Ultimately, reflective practice served not only as a pedagogical strategy but also as a researchtool.
