Rossiter, Diane; Petrulis, Robert; Biggs, Catherine A. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2010
This paper describes the development of a first-year chemical engineering course over 5 years through action research based on evidence from student feedback. As a result of this research, the course has evolved into a blended approach which incorporates problem based learning (PBL) and online learning tools. Through the use of PBL, the students…
