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…

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…

Sandra L. Pettit; Clifford L. Henderson – Chemical Engineering Education, 2023
Development of team skills is vital to becoming a successful and productive engineer. To prepare students for successful team-based work, they need a basic understanding of the organizational psychology underpinning teamwork and an introduction to tools and techniques to develop and sustain team effectiveness. The goal of this paper is to…

Elkhatat, Ahmed M.; Al-Muhtaseb, Shaheen A. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2022
A Computer-Aided Learning Package as Inquiry-Guided Learning (CALP/IGL) was implemented in a cooling tower experiment for 43 students enrolled in four sections of the Unit Operations Laboratory course in the chemical engineering program at Qatar University. The impact of this approach on the attainment of learning outcomes was evaluated. Results…

Falconer, John L.; Hendren, Neil – Chemical Engineering Education, 2021
A virtual catalytic reactor laboratory (VCRL) experiment, which can be used in most browsers, is described. Students select feed conditions and use the VCRL to take data for a gas-phase catalytic reaction and fit kinetic parameters to a Langmuir-Hinshelwood rate expression. The VCRL contains instructions, equipment descriptions, an animated…

Reynolds, Olivia May; Khan, Aminul Islam; Thiessen, David B.; Dutta, Prashanta; Adesope, Olusola O.; Van Wie, Bernard J. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2022
The development, testing, and classroom implementation of a low-cost, reproducible, desktop sized, highly visual double-pipe heat exchanger are presented. Quantitative measurements with the module reveal its usefulness for demonstrating basic and advanced convective heat transfer theory while worksheet-guided inquiries promote student engagement.…

Baz-Rodríguez, Sergio; Herrera-Soberanis, Natali; Rodríguez-Novelo, Miguel; Guillén-Francisc, Juana; Rocha-Uribe, José – Chemical Engineering Education, 2016
An experiment for teaching mixing intensification in reaction engineering is described. For this, a simple tubular reactor was constructed; helical static mixer elements were fabricated from stainless steel strips and inserted into the reactor. With and without the internals, the equipment operates as a static mixer reactor or a laminar flow…

Cybulskis, Viktor J.; Smeltz, Andrew D.; Zvinevich, Yury; Gounder, Rajamani; Delgass, W. Nicholas; Ribeiro, Fabio H. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2016
Understanding catalytic chemistry, collecting and interpreting kinetic data, and operating chemical reactors are critical skills for chemical engineers. This laboratory experiment provides students with a hands-on supplement to a course in chemical kinetics and reaction engineering. The oxidation of methane with a palladium catalyst supported on…

Gautam, Satyen; Nagarajan, Karthiga; Loh, Kai Chee; Zhou, Kang; Yung, Lanry Lin Y.; Tong, Yen Wah; Li, Zhi – Chemical Engineering Education, 2020
The paper explores the effectiveness of hands-on learning (HOL) as a student-centered model to train first year chemical engineering undergraduates. The pedagogical design of the course uses laboratory sessions, lectures, reflection sessions, projects, and assessments to achieve the course learning outcomes. The adopted assessment methodology…

Louhi-Kultanen, Marjatta; Han, Bing; Nurkka, Annikka; Hatakka, Henry – Chemical Engineering Education, 2015
The present work describes an undergraduate laboratory exercise for improving understanding of fundamental phenomena in cooling crystallization. The exercise of nucleation and crystal growth kinetics supports learning of theories and models presented in lectures and calculation exercises. The teaching methodology incorporates precepts the…

Heldt, Caryn L.; Bank, Alex; Turpeinen, Dylan; King, Julia A. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2016
The need to increase science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) graduates is great. To interest more students into STEM degrees, we made our graphene biosensor research portable, inexpensive, and safe to demonstrate technology development to high school students. The students increased their knowledge of biosensors and proteins, and…

Cicciarelli, Bradley A. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2013
Pre-recorded video demonstrations of laboratory experiments are used to introduce students to various experiments in a lab course instead of an in-class tutorial. In addition to saving time for both the students and the instructor, this allows students to watch the videos in an "on-demand" setting at their convenience, which is helpful…

Clark, William M.; Jackson, Yaminah Z.; Morin, Michael T.; Ferraro, Giacomo P. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2011
Laboratory experiments and computer models for studying the mass transfer process of removing CO2 from air using water or dilute NaOH solution as absorbent are presented. Models tie experiment to theory and give a visual representation of concentration profiles and also illustrate the two-film theory and the relative importance of various…

Silverstein, David L.; Osei-Prempeh, Gifty – Chemical Engineering Education, 2010
The preponderance of the evidence from the engineering education literature demonstrates that inductive teaching methods are more effective than deductive approaches. When students are already familiar with the fundamentals of a topic, however, deductive approaches may make more sense. This paper discusses the implementation of a combination of…
