Ben Phillips is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Baylor University, working as a Research Assistant in the Baylor Energy And Renewable Systems (BEARS) Lab. His research interests are in Energy Storage and Renewable Systems, with projects focused in Concentrated Solar Thermal Energy Storage. He aspires to become a lecturer in the field of Chemical or Mechanical Engineering.
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.
