Abstract

(For Submission to NSF Grantees Poster Session) Assessment of Pharmaceutical Engineering Materials for Introductory Chemical Engineering CoursesXX University chemical engineering students and faculty are collaborating with the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) funded Engineering Research Center for Structured Organic Particulate Systems (C-SOPS) to create educational materials based on research being conducted on advanced pharmaceuticalprocessing. The Center is hosted by Rutgers University and also involves Purdue University, New JerseyInstitute of Technology and the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez. The goal of the Center is tobecome a national focal point for developing structured organic particulate systems used inpharmaceuticals and their manufacturing processes. Rowan University has partnered as anoutreach/education member institution to expand the impact of the Center through the field of SMETeducation and outreach.Previously, introductory level chemical engineering textbook/homework problems were developed thatfocused on concepts in pharmaceutical engineering such as terminology, process operations, ethical andindustrial concerns.1 Selected problems have been shown in class and assigned as homework to a classof sophomore students taking the first chemical engineering course at Rowan University. Non-gradedevaluations are taken before the introduction of new pharmaceutical subjects, and a comprehensivefinal evaluation will be given at the end of the course to determine student learning, retention andinterest in the field of pharmaceutical engineering. The results of this assessment will be presented.1 V. de Delva, K. McIver, M. Iftikhar, S. Farrell, C.S. Slater, M.J. Savelski, K.
