As future chemical engineers, it is important that students be able to identify and quantify sources of error. A statistical analysis technique that is often overlooked is hierarchical design methodology, which allows for the separation of overall variance into several related components. While hierarchical methodology is relevant to many fields, we have demonstrated that it can be taught through the synthesis and characterization of polymeric materials. Basic statistical concepts are described, along with relevant examples.

Simulation software has experienced growing interest in chemical engineering curriculums for its usage in commercial engineering practices. This article describes the ASPEN Plus® version 10 (V10) simulations and a student teach students approach to integrate ASPEN in the chemical engineering curriculum at the University of Kansas (KU). Videos, handouts, and lectures created by the first author, an undergraduate senior, effectively teaches ASPEN to other chemical engineering students and enhances the learning experience of the classroom.

A practical for students to experience a process plant is presented, based on operating a solvent absorption plant for carbon dioxide capture. The student must operate the plant in assigned roles that closely identify with a chemical plant environment, to achieve specific performance targets. Students must overcome technical challenges that require them to translate their theoretical understanding into practical outcomes. This ensures students take ownership of the class and act semi-independently of the demonstrators.

The Chemical Engineering Department at The Pennsylvania State University (commonly known as Penn State) is located in State College, PA, an area colloquially known as “Happy Valley”. The drive into Penn State is beautiful, passing through the hills of the Allegheny Mountains and through multiple state parks and forests. For many visitors, that trip ends at Beaver Stadium, the second largest stadium in the western hemisphere and home to the Penn State football team. For others, the draw might well be Penn State’s Breazeale Nuclear Reactor, the longest continuously operating university research reactor in the world. However, for most of the past 60 years, visitors interested in chemical engineering would arrive at Fenske Laboratory, the long-time home for the department named after Merrell Fenske (who is also the namesake for the “Fenske equation” used to calculate the minimum number of theoretical plates in a distillation column). But, not any more. In Spring 2019, the department moved into a brand new, state-of-the-art, 195,000 square foot facility specifically designed to accommodate our undergraduate and graduate programs. The department graduated 223 B.S. chemical engineers in 2017-2018, ranking first among all degree-granting institutions in the U.S. (www.asee.org/colleges), and 25 of our graduate students received their Ph.D. degrees, the largest number ever produced by the department in a single academic year.

This teaching tip provides a biological example of the whale aorta to use in calculating Re and is compared to the Re in the human aorta. This example can be used in a fluid mechanics course or any course that discusses Re as a way to highlight biological examples with traditional chemical engineering concepts.

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 attempt any question as many times as needed, and a median success of 94% was found. Also, students completed thousands of attempts after correctly answering without the incentive to improve grades.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, chemical engineering departments from around the world shifted their course offerings from in-person to online almost instantaneously. The AIChE Education Division immediately responded to this educational shift by developing five Virtual Communities of Practice (VCPs) that allowed faculty to share experiences and best practices as well as provide a network for emotional support. Community creation, methods and materials shared, and surveys related to the impact of this initiative will be discussed.
