Program-level ResponsesThe Curriculum Survey Committee of the Education Division (EdDiv) of AIChE surveysinstitutions in the United States and Canada each fall on different aspects of the undergraduatecurriculum. For Fall 2021, the topic was material and energy balances (MEB). The topic wasdefined in the survey as “a material and energy balances course covers the conservation of massand energy in a chemical process context”. The survey was directed at faculty of courses inwhich this was the main topic, not a simple introduction, and not at faculty of thermodynamicscourses unless they covered balances in a chemical process context. The Committee surveyedthis topic in 1972, 1990, 1999, and 2011 [1].A link to the survey was sent to the EdDiv

“ElementaryPrinciples of Chemical Processes” [12] and “Basic Principles and Calculations in ChemicalEngineering” [13] lately offer online versions, in parallel to hardcopy editions, with increasingover-the-years interactive elements, but at a significant cost. More recently, Matthew Liberatorepublished an impressive online-only textbook on “Material and Energy Balances” [14] withinteractivity and adaptability to the user, but not on an open licence. Regarding online resources,he most widely known is the LearnChemE repository from the University of Colorado Boulder[15] which includes numerous screencasts, simulations, and quizzes. Quite popular is also theAIChE Concept Warehouse from Oregon State University [16] which hosts a huge number ofquestions on

Distancing and On-line Learners Taryn M. Bayles Chemical & Petroleum Engineering Department University of Pittsburgh With the outbreak of the pandemic, our School of Engineering spent summer 2020 re-working our classes so that our students could have comparable class experiences whetherattending class in person or on-line. This presented a challenge on how to deliver a team centeredhands-on design project in our sophomore level material and energy balance course. As part ofthis project, teams are required not only to research, design, construct, evaluate, test and report ontheir product, but also to develop a mathematical model to predict their
