Dong-Qiang Lin; Yu-Cheng Chen; Xin-Yu Chen; Shan-Jing Yao – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
While process simulation tools offer immense potential in chemical engineering, effectively integrating them into the educational curriculum poses challenges. This work explored and practiced online-offline blended teaching in process simulation courses. The design of this blended course was based on a comparison of students' performances in fully…

Falconer, John L. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2016
More than 40 interactive "Mathematica" simulations were prepared for chemical engineering thermodynamics, screencasts were prepared that explain how to use each simulation, and more than 100 ConcepTests were prepared that utilize the simulations. They are located on www.LearnChemE.com. The purposes of these simulations are to clarify…

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…

Shacham, Mordechai; Brauner, Neima; Ashurst, W. Robert; Cutlip, Michael B. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2008
Mathematical software packages such as Polymath, MATLAB, and Mathcad are currently widely used for engineering problem solving. Applications of several of these packages to typical chemical engineering problems have been demonstrated by Cutlip, et al. The main characteristic of these packages is that they provide a "problem-solving environment…

Helfferich, Friedrich G. – Chemical Engineering Education, 1989
Points out a different and much simpler approach for the study of equilibria of multiple and heterogeneous chemical reactions. A simulation on coal methanation is used to teach the technique. An example and the methodology used are provided. (MVL)

McCready, Mark J. – Chemical Engineering Education, 1989
A course where students were required to choose projects and provide studies of the feasibility, consumer need, and process design is discussed. Other projects such as advertising campaigns used to encourage student creativity are discussed. The need to keep second semester seniors interested is stressed. (MVL)
