Development of Educational Modules for Undergraduate Materials Curriculum at Purdue University

正在开发一个独特的模块材料教育包 它将被化学工程学院和其他 指导员教授初级和高级本科生 材料科学，加工和工程，因为它属于 化工. 此包的每个模块都包括一个 背景信息部分，主要参考文献，已解决 问题，课堂演示和更大的实验， 在经典的本科实验室课程中进行。 这套教育材料是根据 大多数化学工程系的发展需要 以现代材料为导向的实验室实验和 将材料加工纳入课程。 的 涵盖的主题包括广泛的材料，从 聚合物和陶瓷到微电子和信息 存储材料。 此外，还将在下列地点举办专题讨论会： AIChE和ASEE会议，传播关于材料的结果 以及其他部门的课程开发方法 和教员。

A unique modular materials education package is being developed which will be used by chemical engineering faculty and other instructors to teach junior and senior undergraduate students materials science, processing and engineering as it pertains to chemical engineering. Each module of this package includes a background information section, main references, solved problems, class demonstrations and larger experiments that can be performed in a classic undergraduate laboratory course. This educational package is being developed in response to the need of most Departments of Chemical Engineering to develop modern materials-oriented laboratory experiments and to integrate materials processing in their curriculum. The subjects covered include a wide range of materials, from polymers and ceramics to microelectronics and information storage materials. In addition, symposia will be organized at AIChE and ASEE meetings to disseminate the results on materials and the approach to curriculum development to other departments and faculty.
