This project develops and promotes the use of a cyber-enabled infrastructure, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Concept Warehouse, that could be used throughout the core chemical engineering curriculum (Material and Energy Balances, Thermodynamics, Transport Phenomena, Kinetics and Reactor Design, and Materials Science). The goal is to create a community of learning focused on concept-based instruction, within the discipline of chemical engineering. Conceptual questions, both as Concept Inventories and Concept Tests, will be available through an interactive website maintained through the Education Division of the AIChE, the discipline's major professional society. It uses a flexible, query-driven information storage system so that conceptual learning can be deployed by programs and instructors as it best fits into their curriculum and culture. The overall objective is to lower the barrier for using concept-based instruction and assessment so that more chemical engineering faculty incorporate concept-based learning into their classes. Workshops will be offered to faculty and department administrators to explain the value and methods of concept-based instruction.

该项目开发并促进了使用网络支持基础设施，美国化学工程师研究所（AICHE）概念仓库的使用，可在整个核心化学工程课程（材料和热力学，热力学，运输现象，动力学和动力学和反应器设计以及材料科学）中使用。目的是在化学工程学科中建立一个专注于基于概念的教学的学习社区。概念问题，无论是概念清单还是概念测试，都将通过通过该学科的主要专业社会AICHE的教育部门维护的交互式网站来获得。它使用灵活的，查询驱动的信息存储系统，以便可以由程序和讲师部署概念学习，因为它最适合其课程和文化。总体目标是降低使用基于概念的指导和评估的障碍，以便更多的化学工程教师将基于概念的学习纳入他们的课程。将向教职员工提供讲习班，以解释基于概念的教学的价值和方法。
