Fereshteh Zeynivandnezhad; Ramón Emilio Fernández; Yudariah binti Mohammad Yusof; Zaleha binti Ismail – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2025
This study explores the effects of a computer algebra system on students' mathematical thinking. Mathematical thinking is identified with mathematical thinking powers and structures. We define mathematical thinking as students' capacity to specialize and generalize their previous knowledge to solve new mathematical problems. The study was…

Samantha Yanosko; Grant Valentine; Matthew W. Liberatore – Chemical Engineering Education, 2025
An interactive textbook for a material and energy balances course measured over 1,300 reading interactions and hundreds of auto-graded problems per student each term. Specifically, seven cohorts and 601 students completed over 700,000 reading interactions and 150,000 auto-graded problems. Median reading participation was over 93%. Median correct…

Max Chen; Yichen Li; Hilson Shrestha; Noe¨lle Rakotondravony; Andrew Teixeira; Lane Harrison; Robert E. Dempski – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Industrial and academic laboratories are undergoing a paradigm shift in process technology from batch to modular flow. Implementation of modular flow processes can enable more efficient operation with superior throughput, scalability, and safety factors owing to superior transport and reaction kinetics. However, both fine chemical and…

Roman, Claudia; Lazar, Liliana; García-Morales, Moisés – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Mass transfer separations are of extreme importance to professionals working in the chemical industry. For this reason, chemical engineering and industrial chemistry students are both taught these unit operations at the final years of their study programs. The traditional way of carrying out their design is based on the use of deterministic…

Yenkie, Kirti Maheshkumar – Chemical Engineering Education, 2020
The current business trends, such as Industry 4.0, require a modern chemical engineer to know about programming, advanced computational tools, and holistic thinking. To this end, an integrated approach, where theoretical concepts are supplemented by computational lab-based exercises and team projects promoting "Design Thinking" is…

Geng, Jianming; Chen, Kaiyuan; Wang, Nengxin; Ling, Sihan; Guo, Muqi; Huang, Zuyi – Chemical Engineering Education, 2019
US high school (HS) students are lagging behind their foreign peers in math performance. It is thus necessary to design teaching modules that motivate US HS students to learn more math and to improve their math skills. Our study set out to test two different software programs designed for the development of such skills. MATLAB Simulink provides a…
