AB  -         Using Studios as a Strategy to Respond to Increasing EnrollmentRecently chemical engineering programs in many universities have shown significant growthrelated to student interest in energy production, sustainability, and innovation chemicalprocessing. With the increasing student populations, many programs have struggled with servinglarger number of students while maintaining an effective learning environment. One approachhas been to limit enrollment and another has been to deliver the same class multiple times. Thispaper reports an alternative approach in which larger lecture classes are punctuated by smallerstudios. In the studios, students are afforded the opportunity to actively engage the contentpresented in lecture. This paper presents a comprehensive implementation of the studio approachthat comprises of the incorporation of studios in nine classes during the 2011-2012 academicyear at XXX University.We present key elements of the design and implementation of studios. They are activity based(e.g., students solving problems, explaining phenomena from in class demonstrations, answeringconceptual questions, working on virtual laboratories, etc.). The enrollment in a single studio islimited typically to about 25 students to achieve an instructional model of facilitating learningand rapid feedback.The implementation is executed by a coordinated team effort. Each class has a professor, aninstructor who serves as studio coordinator, and graduate student teaching assistants. A trainingprogram was used to prepare the graduate students for their role. In addition, there are regularmeetings between the entire team and other meetings between those in a given class. Thesemeetings contain a broad array of topics, including studio design and delivery, effectiveness andassessment, and uniform delivery, formatting, and grading. The intent is to align the design anddelivery amongst classes and between classes. In this way, we hope to create a consistentexpectation among students in a studio, lowering the cognitive demand of different formats andallowing strong student focus. Such alignment also allows more coordinated and effectivegraduate student training including introduction to teaching effectiveness in higher education.In the paper, we will provide description, analysis, and student perception of the first quarter ofthe widespread studio implementation in three classes: material balances, thermodynamics andfluid mechanics. We will also comment on the administrative support and department cultureneeded for this type of curricular innovation.This work could either fit in a regular session or, with the appropriate other papers, in a"discussion" session.
