Abstract

This paper discusses the development and evaluation of a Chemical Engineering Education Reactor (CEER). The goal of the CEER is to provide a novel method to encourage student learning in the field of chemical engineering using a cooperative, hands-on, active, and problem-based environment. The CEER is a small-scale water purification reactor that integrates chemical engineering (ChemE) concepts of heat and mass balances, heat and mass transfer, instrumentation and measurements, process control, reaction kinetics, and reaction engineering. The results of the quantitative and qualitative analysis of effects of the CEER on student learning will propel further developments in the platform with the goal of wider applications of this reactor.
