Yiting Lin; Yunqi Cai; Cheng Lian; Shouhong Xu; Wenqing Zhang; Honglai Liu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
Ion transport, involving the diffusion and migration of ions within the electrolyte, stands as a fundamental concept in electrochemistry and serves as the driving force for electrochemical reactions. Electric double layers are critical in the fields of electrochemical energy storage and chemical conversion, constituting a central focus of…

Joseph Alan Lyon – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The concept of computational thinking (CT) has become more prevalent across the engineering education research and teaching landscape. Yet much of the research to date has been more definitional and has not offered many ways to convert CT theory to practice. One prominent set of tools used across engineering disciplines is modeling and simulation,…

Cipparrone, Flavio A. M.; Consonni, Denise – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2022
Contribution: Two general rules for calculating, in the time domain, step discontinuities of voltages and currents in electric circuits, combining physical principles and basic mathematical treatment. The two general rules, resulting from a formal method of analysis, provide a straightforward way to update the states of a circuit, immediately…

Alejandra J. Magana; Joreen Arigye; Abasiafak Udosen; Joseph A. Lyon; Parth Joshi; Elsje Pienaar – International Journal of STEM Education, 2024
Background: This study posits that scaffolded team-based computational modeling and simulation projects can support model-based learning that can result in evidence of representational competence and regulatory skills. The study involved 116 students from a second-year thermodynamics undergraduate course organized into 24 teams, who worked on…

English, Niall J. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2022
Molecular-, fluid- and field-dynamics simulation are becoming more mainstream tools for practicing process engineers; here, the academic community needs to pay close attention to "upskilling" demands from industry, where remote working/training emphasizes the need for sophisticated computational-engineering design tools with molecular…

Qiang Fu; Li Liu; Guofu Wang; Jing Yu; Shiyuan Fu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Commonly used methods to simulate the oxidation-reduction (redox) titration curves include the three-step method and the rigorous method. The simple three-step method simulates the redox titration curve with the assumption that the reaction is complete, which is widely used in undergraduate quantitative analysis courses. For the rigorous…

Andreas Haraldsrud; Tor Ole B. Odden – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
Sensemaking is an important way of learning and engaging in science. Research has shown that sensemaking activities, such as questioning, hypothesizing, and model building, are pivotal in developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills in science education. This paper investigates the role of computational simulations in facilitating…

Stelz-Sullivan, Eleanor J.; Marchetti, Barbara; Karsili, Tolga – Education Sciences, 2022
Computational and atmospheric chemistry are two important branches of contemporary chemistry. With the present topical nature of climate change and global warming, it is more crucial than ever that students are aware of and exposed to atmospheric chemistry, with an emphasis on how modeling may aid in understanding how atmospherically relevant…

Liu, Dan; Duan, Zhuojan – Physics Teacher, 2021
Equilibrium is an essential concept in undergraduate physics curriculum as it integrates Newton's laws and torque. The importance also comes from its wide applications in mechanics and biomechanics. Simulations of Back and Arms are developed mainly for the undergraduates who major in physical therapy and health sciences. They are implemented as…

Sales, Adam C.; Hansen, Ben B. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2020
Conventionally, regression discontinuity analysis contrasts a univariate regression's limits as its independent variable, "R," approaches a cut point, "c," from either side. Alternative methods target the average treatment effect in a small region around "c," at the cost of an assumption that treatment assignment,…

Chen, Chun-Miin; Bailey, Matthew D. – Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education, 2016
To determine the appropriate level of product availability, most operations management textbooks introduce and define service level measures in a Business-to-Customer context. In other words, a retailer that wants to measure product availability in their store calculates the fill rate (FR) or cycle service level over an infinite review horizon.…

Tsakeni, Maria – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
Inquiry-based practical work (IBPW) is one of the innovative instructional strategies in science education. Science teacher preparation programmes play a role in preparing preservice teachers to facilitate IBPW in classrooms located in different school settings, including multiple-deprived classrooms. The adverse conditions against the successful…

Jang, Larry K.; Lo, Roger C. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2015
The objective of this work is to present a spreadsheet tool that illustrates an ideal case of dynamic matrix control (DMC) calculations. The ideal case presented in this work is a hypothetical single- input-single-output DMC control system for setpoint tracking, in the absence of disturbance and mismatch between the measured and predicted process…

Berland, Matthew; Duncan, Sean – Educational Technology, 2016
Surprisingly few empirical studies address how computational thinking works "in the wild" or how games and simulations can support developing computational thinking skills. In this article, the authors report results from a study of computational thinking (CT) as evinced through player discussions around the collaborative board game…

McDonald, Judith A.; Thornton, Robert J. – Journal of Economic Education, 2016
In the authors' 2011 "JEE" article, "Estimating Gender Wage Gaps," they described an interesting class project that allowed students to estimate the current gender earnings gap for recent college graduates using data from the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). Unfortunately, since 2012, NACE no longer…
