Scovazzo, Paul – Chemical Engineering Education, 2023
Length of the Unused Bed (LUB) methods for scaling sorbers have confusing and complicated pedagogically elements. One method limits feeds to C/C[subscript F] < 0.3; a limitation not stated in the established textbooks. Discussed is a new LUB method with no limitation on the feed C/C[subscript F]. It fixes the pedagogically confusing and…

Christopher V. H.-H. Chen; Scott Banta – Chemical Engineering Education, 2023
As more chemical engineering students enter careers beyond the field, students need more guidance in applying their problem solving skills to a challenges beyond the plant or refinery. Since Fall 2019, we have implemented case-based learning across our Material and Energy Balances course to help students practice chemical engineering thinking as a…

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…

Fredriksen, Helge; Hadjerrouit, Said – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
This study explores contradictions that emerge when utilizing a flipped classroom approach to university mathematics education. The work uses Activity Theory and its principle of dialectical contradiction as a theoretical framework to identify and analyse contradictions that arise in flipped mathematics classrooms for engineering students. Data…

Gorbett, Luke J.; Chapamn, Kayla E.; Liberatore, Matthew W. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2022
Spreadsheets are a core computational tool for practicing engineers and engineering students. While Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and other spreadsheet tools have some differences, numerous formulas, functions, and other tasks are common across versions and platforms. Building upon learning science frameworks showing that interactive activities…

Reinhart, Alex; Genovese, Christopher R. – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2021
Traditionally, statistical computing courses have taught the syntax of a particular programming language or specific statistical computation methods. Since Nolan and Temple Lang's seminal paper, we have seen a greater emphasis on data wrangling, reproducible research, and visualization. This shift better prepares students for careers working with…

Quan, Xinfeng – Advances in Engineering Education, 2020
Challenges posed to the online classes during the COVID-19 epidemic, which prevented instant face-to-face communication and forced physical separation, were tentatively resolved by a teaching strategy shift to foster and improve student self-study skills. Class slides, teaching formats, as well as learning activities were redesigned and…

Magana, Alejandra J.; Vieira, Camilo; Boutin, Mireille – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2018
This paper studies electrical engineering learners' preferences for learning methods with various degrees of activity. Less active learning methods such as homework and peer reviews are investigated, as well as a newly introduced very active (constructive) learning method called "slectures," and some others. The results suggest that…

Kim, Yeon; Ahn, Changsun – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2018
Contribution: This paper illustrates how to design and implement curricula in terms of the combined use of flipped learning and inquiry-based learning in an engineering course. Background: Elementary courses in engineering schools are conventional and foundational, and involve a considerable amount of knowledge. Throughout such courses, students…

Liberatore, Matthew W.; Morrish, Rachel M.; Vestal, Charles R. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2017
The utility of Just-In-Time-Teaching (JITT) is compared across course topics and groups of students not receiving JITT exercises in class. JITT feedback incorporated various active learning exercises based on students' performance on online homework problems from Sapling Learning. With over 200 students in two sections participating in the…

Karabulut-Ilgu, Aliye; Yao, Suhan; Savolainen, Peter; Jahren, Charles – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2018
The flipped-classroom approach has gained increasing popularity and interest in engineering education. The purpose of this study was to investigate (a) student perspectives on the flipped-classroom approach in a transportation-engineering course and (b) how students used the in-class time dedicated to collaborative problem solving. To this end,…
