Jacob C. Crislip; Esai Lopez; Cameron D. Armstrong; Taylor Petell; Laila Abu-Lail; Andrew R. Teixeira – Advances in Engineering Education, 2023
A chemical engineering student's knowledge of theory, experimental design, and real-world processes is tested and enforced in the Unit Operations laboratory courses. However, instructors are facing challenges of delivering high-quality, hands-on laboratory content with limited resources and increasingly large class sizes. Limited in-lab time is…

Zinatelli, M.; Dube, M. A.; Jovanovic, R. – Journal of College Student Retention, 2003
Randomly assigned first-year chemical engineering students to a treatment group using R.E.S.U.L.T.S. [copyright] study skills software and a comparison group. Examined pre-university and first-term academic performance, student goals, use of time, self assessments, and feedback. Although improvements in post-treatment performance were observed,…
