Abstract
One of the primary challenges in chemical engineering education lies in the practical application of theoretical knowledge. Contemporary society demands chemical engineers who are not only adept at critical thinking but also proficient in practical problem-solving. Historically, acquiring such practical experience has been heavily dependent on laboratory experiments. However, with the advent of advanced technology, there are now more accessible and varied opportunities for experiential learning. Simulation-based learning tools have proven to be powerful complements to traditional laboratory experiments. These tools enable students to investigate complex chemical processes, test hypotheses, and develop practical skills in a safe, cost-effective, and scalable environment. This critique aims to evaluate the educational potential of the YEASTsim simulator, positioning it as an interactive and innovative tool to enhance the study of core subjects such as Chemical Reaction Engineering, a fundamental component of chemical engineering practice.
期刊介绍：
Education for Chemical Engineers was launched in 2006 with a remit to publisheducation research papers, resource reviews and teaching and learning notes. ECE is targeted at chemical engineering academics and educators, discussing the ongoingchanges and development in chemical engineering education. This international title publishes papers from around the world, creating a global network of chemical engineering academics. Papers demonstrating how educational research results can be applied to chemical engineering education are particularly welcome, as are the accounts of research work that brings new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating direction for future research relevant to chemical engineering education. Core topic areas: -Assessment- Accreditation- Curriculum development and transformation- Design- Diversity- Distance education-- E-learning Entrepreneurship programs- Industry-academic linkages- Benchmarking- Lifelong learning- Multidisciplinary programs- Outreach from kindergarten to high school programs- Student recruitment and retention and transition programs- New technology- Problem-based learning- Social responsibility and professionalism- Teamwork- Web-based learning
