P. B. Golter; B. J. Van Wie; P. V. Scuderi; T. W. Henderson; R. M. Dueben; G. R. Brown; W. J. Thomson – Chemical Engineering Education, 2005
New teaching methods are needed to match the industrial team oriented environment and to accommodate a variety of learning styles. A novel approach used at Washington State University replaces most lectures with a combined cooperative, hands-on, active, and problem based learning pedagogy. Students work in structured groups, with hands-on modules…
