Engineering Chemical - (53)Chemical engineering education (ChE) requires a paradigm shift to address the needs of a modern industry that is utilizing biotechnological approaches to create new products. For example, biocatalysis and bioprocessing are increasingly finding application in the chemical industry, requiring a familiarity with such concepts of entry-level chemical engineers. Simply adding biology courses to the portfolio of ChE undergraduate instruction is a compartmentalized approach that does not address this deficiency because it does not present content within an engineering context. Integrating appropriate educational materials throughout the ChE core curriculum would help students acquire and reinforce the skills necessary to apply engineering principles to biological, biochemical, or other bio-based (bioX) processes. Such a transformation is currently hindered by the lack of texts and other educational materials for integrating bioX into the curriculum. The goal of this project is to create, collect, disseminate, and evaluate such materials for the entire ChE curriculum. Specifically, the project creates new learning materials and teaching strategies, develops faculty expertise, implements educational innovations and assesses student achievement. The results of this project will serve as a paradigm for other modern, interdisciplinary applications to be integrated into a variety of engineering fields.

工程化学 - (53)化学工程教育 (ChE) 需要进行范式转变，以满足利用生物技术方法创造新产品的现代工业的需求。例如，生物催化和生物加工越来越多地在化学工业中得到应用，这就需要入门级化学工程师熟悉这些概念。简单地将生物学课程添加到 ChE 本科教学组合中是一种划分方法，无法解决这一缺陷，因为它不提供工程背景下的内容。在 ChE 核心课程中整合适当的教育材料将有助于学生获得并强化将工程原理应用于生物、生化或其他生物基 (bioX) 过程所需的技能。目前，由于缺乏将 bioX 纳入课程的文本和其他教育材料，这种转变受到阻碍。该项目的目标是为整个 ChE 课程创建、收集、传播和评估此类材料。具体来说，该项目创建新的学习材料和教学策略，发展教师专业知识，实施教育创新并评估学生的成绩。该项目的结果将成为其他现代跨学科应用程序集成到各种工程领域的范例。
