The need for autonomous engineering graduates who demonstrate hands-on skills has increased in the industry. Computer programming helps engineering students solve real-world problems systematically and accurately by applying governing physical and mathematical models into a format that a computer can read and execute. This study describes the pedagogical approach of incorporating programming workshops and assessments into a second-year chemical engineering course. The impact of this intervention on experiential learning amongst the students was then evaluated by analysing the feedback provided by voluntary participants during several focus group sessions. The feedback gave further insight into teaching pedagogy with respect to Kolb's experiential learning cycle. It was found the programming background of an individual clearly affects the phase of the learning cycle they predominantly experience during the workshops. Furthermore, programming background affected an individual's critical thinking while approaching an engineering problem. Constructive feedback provided by the student participants offered an invaluable opportunity for the teaching team to reflect on what went well and the areas for improvement in future iterations. The findings of this study can advance knowledge around design and implementation of a programming module within an engineering course.

该行业对具有动手能力的自动驾驶工程专业毕业生的需求有所增加。计算机编程通过将控制物理和数学模型应用到计算机可以读取和执行的格式中,帮助工程专业的学生系统而准确地解决现实世界的问题。本研究描述了将编程研讨会和评估纳入二年级化学工程课程的教学方法。通过分析志愿者在几个焦点小组会议上提供的反馈,评估了这种干预对学生体验式学习的影响。这些反馈进一步深入了解了Kolb的体验式学习周期的教学方法。研究发现,个人的编程背景明显影响他们在研讨会期间主要经历的学习周期阶段。此外,编程背景会影响个人在处理工程问题时的批判性思维。学生参与者提供的建设性反馈为教学团队提供了一个宝贵的机会,可以反映出哪些进展顺利,以及在未来迭代中需要改进的地方。本研究的结果可以促进对工程课程中编程模块设计和实现的认识。

The ability and capability to analyze and benchmark alternative designs on top of the optimal network are deemed valuable competencies for current and future chemical engineers. In this context, a process graph (P-graph)-inspired tool – P-HENS is introduced to an integrated plant design unit in an undergraduate chemical engineering degree program at Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus in Malaysia. The energy recovery aspect is one of the key design elements in the integrated plant design unit. The introduction of P-HENS, which is capable of mathematically determining multiple optimal and sub-optimal solutions is considered useful for the students to (i) identify plausible heat exchanger networks (HENs) structures that may be overlooked using conventional approaches and (ii) enable a more in-depth analysis to justify the selected design. Overall, the implementation of P-HENS shows positive outcomes, where this free-of-charge software complements the learning of conventional manual approaches used in HENs synthesis. Furthermore, recommendations suggested by the users (students) are collected and compiled for potential future software development. This work serves as an essential reference for other chemical engineering educators who are teaching pinch analysis or heat integration-related courses.

对当前和未来的化学工程师来说,在最优网络之上分析和基准设计的能力和能力被认为是有价值的能力。在此背景下,在马来西亚斯威本科技大学沙捞越校区的本科化学工程学位课程中,一个受过程图(P-graph)启发的工具- P-HENS被引入了一个综合工厂设计单元。在综合装置设计单元中,能量回收是关键设计要素之一。P-HENS的引入,能够在数学上确定多个最优和次优解决方案,被认为对学生(i)识别可能被传统方法忽视的合理的热交换器网络(HENs)结构(ii)能够进行更深入的分析,以证明所选设计的有效性。总的来说,P-HENS的实施显示出积极的结果,这种免费的软件补充了在母鸡合成中使用的传统手工方法的学习。此外,收集和汇编用户(学生)提出的建议,以供将来可能的软件开发。这项工作为其他化学工程教育工作者教授夹点分析或热集成相关课程提供了重要的参考。

One of the most in-demand skills for engineers is working effectively in a team. However, divergences inside the group often lead to the unsuccessful progress of the task. Therefore, creating a methodology that allows overcoming this obstacle and promotes successful teamwork seems fundamental. In this work, we present a novel questionnaire that we have designed and implemented to form balanced work teams based on the behaviour and personality of the group members. Concretely, the roles selected were Leader, Collaborative, Thoughtful and Creative. The role assignment was performed using a questionary and applied to different subjects and degrees. The role of Leader was predominant, but when analysing the group mates' opinions, a relevant decrease was observed, indicating that the students answered the questionary as a leader but did not show leadership capacities. The second role majority was Collaborator, and Creative and Thoughtful roles obtained the fewest percentages. Finally, the academic results of different courses and the students' feedback experience have been analysed, getting an upbeat assessment of the new methodology for forming groups, and it has also been observed an improvement in the average marks of the subjects.

工程师最需要的技能之一是在团队中有效地工作。然而,团队内部的分歧往往导致任务的进展不成功。因此,创建一种方法来克服这一障碍并促进成功的团队合作似乎是至关重要的。在这项工作中,我们提出了一个新颖的调查问卷,我们设计并实施了基于小组成员的行为和个性来形成平衡的工作团队。具体来说,被选中的角色是“领导”、“合作”、“体贴”和“创新”。角色分配是用一个问题来完成的,并适用于不同的科目和学位。领导者的角色占主导地位,但当分析小组成员的意见时,观察到相关的下降,这表明学生以领导者的身份回答问题,但没有表现出领导能力。第二多的角色是“合作者”,而“创造性”和“深思熟虑”的角色所占比例最少。最后,对不同课程的学习成绩和学生的反馈经验进行了分析,对新的分组方法进行了乐观的评价,并观察到各科平均成绩的提高。

Active learning methods are known to improve motivation, engagement, and student performance in traditional classrooms. However, the COVID-19 pandemic compelled students to continue their studies through an online setting wherein teaching is undertaken remotely and on digital platforms. In this study, the design and implementation of flipped classrooms supported with collaborative learning was evaluated for the remote instruction of Analytical Chemistry. The flipped classroom was designed to include pre-recorded lectures, individual self-assessment questions and in-class group activities (polls and quiz bee). Word problems were given as collaborative tasks to improve the students’ interactions on the learning content. The impact on learning of these instructional practices was evaluated based on students’ learning experience and academic performance, and the instructors’ reflection. The survey at the end of the term gathered quantitative and qualitative data regarding students’ experiences with flipped classroom and peer collaboration methods. The students’ feedback indicated that participation in group collaborative activities had a positive impact on their comprehension of Analytical Chemistry concepts and calculations. Majority of the students indicated that group collaboration was immensely helpful in enhancing communication skills and improving their ability to apply what they had learned in class to solving difficult word problems. In addition, students underscored the importance of pre-recorded videos for their self-paced learning, and synchronous sessions to increase their engagement and motivation. On the other hand, several students perceived flipped classrooms as very demanding and challenging in terms of the required output submissions given the short 6-week term. Overall, the combination of these active-learning methods had a positive impact on the remote-learning environment, but potential drawbacks of online active learning interventions on student attitudes were also present. Therefore, careful integration of these instructional practices into online courses will help improve the students’ learning experience.

众所周知,主动学习方法可以提高学生在传统课堂上的积极性、参与度和表现。然而,2019冠状病毒病大流行迫使学生通过在线环境继续学习,其中远程和数字平台上进行教学。本研究对分析化学远程教学中支持协作学习的翻转课堂的设计与实施进行了评价。翻转课堂的设计包括预先录制的讲座、个人自我评估问题和课堂上的小组活动(投票和问答比赛)。单词问题作为协作任务,以提高学生对学习内容的互动。根据学生的学习经验、学习成绩和教师的反思来评估这些教学实践对学习的影响。学期末的调查收集了关于学生使用翻转课堂和同伴合作方法的经验的定量和定性数据。学生的反馈表明,参与小组合作活动对他们对分析化学概念和计算的理解有积极的影响。大多数学生表示,小组合作对提高沟通技巧和运用课堂知识解决难题的能力非常有帮助。此外,学生们强调了预先录制的视频对他们自主学习的重要性,以及同步课程对提高他们的参与度和积极性的重要性。另一方面,一些学生认为翻转课堂要求很高,在短短6周的学期中,要求提交的成果非常具有挑战性。总体而言,这些主动学习方法的组合对远程学习环境有积极的影响,但在线主动学习干预对学生态度的潜在缺点也存在。因此,将这些教学实践精心整合到在线课程中,将有助于改善学生的学习体验。

Professors of Chemical Engineering often find that students are discouraged by the highly technical nature of the subject, have a poor understanding of how the subject relates to their field and lack the basic engineering skills and competences. This purpose of this paper is to report on a teaching innovation experience in the course in Biochemical Engineering, part of the Degree in Biotechnology at the Universidad Francisco de Vitoria (Madrid, Spain). The aim of the innovation project was to motivate students and overcome the difficulties posed by the course. To this end, a series of practical seminars were designed with individual and group learning activities, for the acquisition of engineering competences, developing higher-order thinking skills and transversal competences. The evaluation of the project was based on the learning-teaching experience of professors, the academic performance of students and student surveys at the end of the course. All indicators showed that the new methodology had a positive impact both on the attitudes of students and on learning outcomes. Furthermore, students had a more precise and positive vision of the interrelation between Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology in general, favourably influencing their learning in other courses within the degree program.

化学工程教授经常发现,学生们对这门学科的高技术性感到气馁,对这门学科与他们所在领域的关系理解不佳,缺乏基本的工程技能和能力。本文的目的是报告西班牙马德里弗朗西斯科维多利亚大学生物技术学位部分的生物化学工程课程的教学创新经验。创新项目的目的是激励学生,克服课程带来的困难。为此,设计了一系列实践研讨会,包括个人和小组学习活动,以获得工程能力,发展高阶思维技能和横向能力。该项目的评价是基于教授的教学经验、学生的学习成绩和课程结束时的学生调查。所有指标都表明,新方法对学生的态度和学习成果都产生了积极影响。此外,学生对化学工程和生物技术之间的相互关系有了更准确和积极的认识,这对他们在学位课程中其他课程的学习产生了有利的影响。

Process safety decision making is a key component of undergraduate chemical engineering education. Despite this, there are no existing survey instruments designed to measure students’ moral reasoning in the context of process safety decision making. The Engineering Process Safety Research Instrument (EPSRI) was developed to address this deficit in process safety assessment. The EPSRI was modeled after existing moral reasoning instruments including the DIT2, EERI, and ESIT. The process safety scenarios included were drawn from personal experience and reports from the Chemical Safety Board. Each scenario in the instrument was followed by a decision prompt and 12–15 considerations. The EPSRI went through content validation with chemical engineering industry practitioners and chemical engineering faculty members. Subsequently, three rounds of exploratory factor analysis were conducted to finalize the instrument design before a final confirmatory factor analysis was completed to ensure validity and reliability of the instrument. Completion of the exploratory factor analysis resulted in five dilemmas with 9–12 considerations each that loaded onto pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional reasoning constructs according to Kohlberg’s moral development theory. Confirmatory factor analysis reaffirmed the validity and reliability of the instrument and its ability to measure chemical engineering students’ moral reasoning within process safety contexts.

过程安全决策是化工本科教育的重要组成部分。尽管如此,没有现有的调查工具,旨在衡量学生在过程安全决策的背景下的道德推理。工程过程安全研究仪器(EPSRI)是为了解决过程安全评估中的这一缺陷而开发的。EPSRI是在现有的道德推理工具(包括DIT2、EERI和ESIT)的基础上建模的。所包括的过程安全情景是根据个人经验和化学品安全委员会的报告得出的。文书中的每个情景之后都有一个决定提示和12-15个考虑因素。EPSRI通过了化学工程行业从业者和化学工程教员的内容验证。随后进行三轮探索性因子分析,最终确定仪器设计,最后进行验证性因子分析,确保仪器的效度和信度。根据Kohlberg的道德发展理论,探索性因素分析的完成导致了五个困境,每个困境有9-12个考虑因素,分别加载到前传统、传统和后传统的推理结构中。验证性因子分析重申了该仪器的有效性和可靠性,以及它在过程安全背景下测量化学工程学生道德推理的能力。

Experience is an important requirement to apply for a qualified job. While employers need to find workers with the required skills, education institutions must design curricula which provide the skills demanded by the job market. Besides, along their careers, workers need to make good choices on continuing education courses. Current Bachelor and Master degrees follow programs which attempt to offer a practical perspective, but still from the academia point of view. To bridge the gap between academia and industry, University Extension Diploma in Food Technology (DEUTA) deepens into the Food sector seeking professional capacitation of participants. This is achieved by both first-hand know-how of food sector professionals and academics, along with an internship period in a food company. This paper reports the experience for more than fifteen years of this Diploma. Curriculum, students background, food sectors where internships are taken, student’s opinion on the course management as well as on issues related to employability, development of professional skills and life-long learning are discussed. The analysis demonstrates how collaborative courses strengthen academia-industry bonds, and employability is boosted thanks to internships and the network created. This experience may be extrapolated to many sectors other than food, such as the chemical, environmental or biotechnological, and may help lecturers and institutions organize similar courses or diplomas to prepare competent and efficient technical workers, as well as help students and professionals orient their training and continuing education choices.

经验是申请一份合格工作的重要要求。虽然雇主需要找到具有所需技能的工人,但教育机构必须设计课程,提供就业市场所需的技能。此外,在他们的职业生涯中,工人需要在继续教育课程上做出正确的选择。目前的学士和硕士学位遵循的课程试图提供实用的观点,但仍然是从学术的角度来看。为了弥合学术界和工业界之间的差距,大学食品技术扩展文凭(DEUTA)深入到食品行业寻求专业能力的参与者。这是通过食品行业专业人士和学者的第一手知识以及在食品公司的实习时间来实现的。本文报告的经验,这一文凭超过15年。课程设置、学生背景、实习食品行业、学生对课程管理的意见以及与就业能力、专业技能发展和终身学习有关的问题进行了讨论。分析表明,合作课程如何加强了学术界与工业界的联系,由于实习和建立的网络,就业能力得到了提高。这一经验可推广到食品以外的许多部门,如化学、环境或生物技术部门,并可帮助讲师和机构组织类似的课程或文凭,以培养称职和高效的技术工人,并帮助学生和专业人员确定其培训和继续教育选择的方向。
