Abstract
How We Teach: Material and Energy BalancesThe authors present the results of the 2010 AIChE Education Division survey on how chemicalengineering courses are taught. This year’s survey focuses on the undergraduate material andenergy balance course. The survey was conducted of faculty recently teaching the course at theirinstitution during the 2010-2011 academic year in the United States and in Canada. The reportconsists of two parts: the statistical and demographic characterization of the course and itscontent; and the remainder seeks to bring out the most innovative and effective approaches toteaching the course in use by instructors. Additionally, a historical comparison is made betweenthe current survey results and surveys on the same course conducted in 1972 and 1990.
