Scholes, Colin A. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2023
A teaching module for HAZOPs is presented here that was included in the capstone subject. The module included a lecture, class exercise and an advisors' led workshop. Some students undertake HAZOPs individually, representing academic misconduct. A verification strategy, based on Zipf's law, is presented that analyses word frequency and key words…

Bodnar, Cheryl; Dringenberg, Emily; Butler, Brittany; Burkey, Daniel; Anastasio, Daniel; Cooper, Matthew – Chemical Engineering Education, 2020
Chemical engineering students need to be prepared to make process safety decisions in industry. Through analysis of the decision-making process of senior chemical engineering students, we found students would rather be "better safe than sorry" and did not often acknowledge complexities associated with their decisions. Their decisions…

Nagma Zerin – Chemical Engineering Education, 2024
Project-Enhanced learning is an excellent way to facilitate student-centered learning along with traditional lecture-based learning. In this Class and Home problem, an example of Project-Enhanced learning is provided that can be used in the Mass and Energy Balances (MEB) course. The students solve this problem as part of a group while receiving…

Cooper, Matthew E. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2020
A ChE process safety assignment using case study videos produced by the U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) is described. Study of student perceptions of video quality and effectiveness of 25 CSB videos identified a number of entries highly-regarded by students which would make good choices for in-class discussion/assignments. Student ratings of…

Forest, Jerry J. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2018
This paper will describe risk-based process safety content that meets an ABET, Inc. Program Criteria requirement to include the hazards associated with chemical processes that is used in Louisiana State University's chemical engineering curriculum. The process to select the curriculum content follows what was used to define the outline for the…

Finberg, Ethan Abraham; Griffin, David Michael; Shiflett, Mark Brandon – Chemical Engineering Education, 2020
A Unit Operations Laboratory (UOL) is fundamental to undergraduate chemical engineering education. This article discusses a new course structure for the University of Kansas UOL and details for three new experiments covering the fundamentals of vapor-liquid equilibrium, fluid mechanics, and kinetics. Students apply knowledge from these courses as…

Clark, William; Lei, Melinda; Kirichenko, Erika; Dickerson, Kellie; Prytko, Robert – Chemical Engineering Education, 2017
Exothermic reactions can present safety hazards and there is a recognized need for reaction safety education at the undergraduate level. We present an experiment that illustrates the pitfall of direct scale-up of an exothermic reaction that can lead to thermal runaway. The iodide-catalyzed hydrogen peroxide decomposition reaction yields…
