How will you handle loading, mixing, and sealing the reaction vessel? Also, at the pressures you are considering, the steel pipe should not be a problem but the fittings and PVC drive unit may need some caution. - I suspect your pressure will need to be increased.

The course begins and endswith approximately two weeks with all 200 students in the large lecture, during whichtime engineering as a profession, each of the six majors, and professional ethics areintroduced. There is also an overall project which all students complete in teams duringthis time [2, 3]. The rest of the time students spend in discipline specific three-week seminarshosting ~30 students each. The key features of the seminars are that they are studentselected, and use a specific topic, which is of interest to the student, to introduceengineering. Eight different seminars are available, and students took either two (2002,2003, 2004) or three (2005, 2006

failures are takenhere to an educational ground because important lessons can be learned from failures. The goalof this project is to create new learning materials for active learning in a simulated environmentto improve students’ awareness about the causes and effects of structural failures in engineering.To achieve this, the research develops a computer-based learning system, in which students learnon structural failures by performing in a simulated environment. In the completed version,several modules will be developed and tested, to prepare undergraduate civil engineeringstudents to tackle problematic situations. The implementation of computer-based learning hasproven to be effective in university courses in disciplines other than SMET. The
