Computational notebooks are an increasingly common tool used to support student learning in a variety of contexts where computer programming can be applied. These notebooks provide an easily distributable method of displaying text and images, as well as sections of computer code that can be manipulated and run in real-time. This format allows…

A chemical engineering analysis course was modified to include analytics with advanced numerical methods. The course uses the MATLAB computational environment to develop student programming, modeling, analytics, and optimization skills. Case studies reinforce MATLAB, numerical methods, and advanced optimization skills. Students reported confidence…
