Asogwa, Uchenna; Duckett, T. Ryan; Mentzer, Gale A.; Liberatore, Matthew W. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2021
The impact of solving novel video-inspired homework problems on learning attitudes toward chemical engineering was examined at beginning and end of an undergraduate material and energy balances course using a modified Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey instrument. Mean overall attitude of participants improved by a normalized gain…

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…

Felse, P. Arthur – Chemical Engineering Education, 2018
Cross-disciplinary fields such as biotechnology require chemical engineers and non-engineers to routinely work together, thus creating a need for non-engineers to learn chemical engineering. But limited knowledge on non-engineers' learning preferences and the lack of pedagogical methods to teach non-engineers restricts the opportunities available…

Koretsky, Milo – Chemical Engineering Education, 2017
This article reports analysis of students' written reflections as to what helps them learn in an active learning environment. Eight hundred and twenty seven responses from 403 students in four different studio courses over two years were analyzed. An emergent coding scheme identified 55% of the responses as associated with cognitive processes…

Wen, Fei; Khera, Eshita – Chemical Engineering Education, 2016
Despite the instinctive perception of mass and heat transfer principles in daily life, productive learning in this course continues to be one of the greatest challenges for undergraduate students in chemical engineering. In an effort to enhance student learning in classroom, we initiated an innovative active-learning method titled…
