Dray, Kate E.; Dreyer, Kathleen S.; Lucks, Julius B.; Leonard, Joshua N. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2023
We present an educational unit to teach computational modeling, a vital part of chemical engineering curricula, through the lens of synthetic biology. Lectures, code, and homework questions provide conceptual and practical introductions to each computational method involved in the model development process, along with perspectives on how methods…

Chapman, Kayla E.; Davidson, Megan E.; Liberatore, Matthew W. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2021
Student success and attempts on hundreds of online homework problems housed in a fully interactive online textbook, Material and Energy Balances zyBook, were studied over three cohorts of students (n=284). Auto-graded homework questions with randomized numbers and content can explore proficiency in the course material. Students are allowed to…

Curtis, Chad Daniel; Beck, David; Wolf, Caitlyn – Chemical Engineering Education, 2020
GitHub is increasingly finding a role in academia to both encourage reproducible computational research and to foster a collaborative environment. We show that employing GitHub as an implementation of version control in engineering-related fields reinforces the 'design-build-evaluate' way of thinking and prepares students with skills they can use…
