Nashely Yuvitza Lizarme Villcas – History of Education, 2025
During the first half of the twentieth century, engineers consolidated themselves as members of an early elite of technical professionals. To achieve this status, these professionals deployed a series of tools that allowed them to legtimise their own discourse. However, in addition to the use of their own resources, they also required compliance…

Shiv Krishna Madi Reddy; Meng Guo; Long Cai; Ralph E. White – Chemical Engineering Education, 2024
A method is presented which can be used to obtain analytical solutions for boundary value problems (BVPs) using the matrix exponential and Maple. Systems of second order, linear differential equations are expressed as two or more first order equations in matrix form, and their solutions are obtained using the matrix exponential, matrix…

Penelope Georges; Sami Kahn – Biomedical Engineering Education, 2025
Rapid advancements in bioengineering call for broad public literacy to help individuals better understand the changes these technologies bring to our lives. However, making bioengineering concepts accessible and relevant, especially to non-science majors, is often challenging. To address this challenge, we designed a general education course aimed…

Purzer, Senay; Quintana-Cifuentes, Jenny; Menekse, Muhsin – Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
Background: Understanding the nature of engineering is important for shaping engineering education, especially precollege education. While much research has established the pedagogical benefits of teaching engineering in kindergarten through 12th grade (K-12), the philosophical foundations of engineering remain under-examined. Purpose: This…

Suk Meng Goh – InSight: A Journal of Scholarly Teaching, 2023
Superhero themes have been increasingly used in the teaching of a range of topics including business, humanities and science in recent years. Typically, characters from existing popular media are adopted for the teaching activities. On the other hand, customised characters that are developed from scratch allow the educator to have more control of…

Virginia Jiang; Matthew Lucia; Scott Banta; Christopher V. H.-H. Chen – Chemical Engineering Education, 2023
We developed a remote lab experience where freshmen grew and analyzed the activity of sourdough starters as a means of engaging with chemical engineering concepts. This six-week hands-on activity was targeted due to its low-cost, non-hazardous materials, and ability to be conducted safely in a non-laboratory setting. By designing the lab to be…

Paul Scovazzo – Chemical Engineering Education, 2025
Simplifying equations via assumptions is integral to the "engineering method." Algebraic scaling helps in teaching the engineering skill of making good assumptions. Algebraic scaling is more than a pedagogical tool. It can create a solution where one was not possible before scaling. Scaling helps in engineering proper design…

Sarah A. Wilson; Karin Jensen – Chemical Engineering Education, 2023
National data show that engineers are unlikely to seek help for a mental health concern, which can result in symptom escalation. Therefore, this article highlights research on mental health in engineering and provides research-based strategies for integrating mental health and wellness into the classroom. We aim to motivate chemical engineering…

Li, Mingheng – Chemical Engineering Education, 2022
The analogy among momentum, heat and mass transport phenomena is an important concept in chemical engineering education. This paper presents the analogy between heat exchanger and packed column calculations. The effectiveness-NTU method used to calculate outlet temperatures of hot and cold streams in an exchanger is introduced in a packed column…
