Aaron G. Frye; Matthew E. Cooper; Lisa G. Bullard – Chemical Engineering Education, 2024
The outcomes of students who completed a ChE graduate bridging course sequence were compared against a group of students with ad hoc preparation. Bridging course students were found to have a modestly higher rate of graduate degree conferral and slightly lower graduate GPAs (though the GPA effect size was found to be small to medium) compared to…

Funkenbusch, LiLu Tian; Rivera-Jiménez, Sindia – Chemical Engineering Education, 2023
The continuous distillation experiment in the Unit Operations Lab was moved to a virtual platform. Students used old data and equipment specifications to simulate the column in Aspen HYSYS. Students experimented without the limitations of existing equipment. For example, they studied the number of trays in the virtual column, something that is…
