Engineering education often focuses on disseminating technical information, without helping students make the connections between this information and both their own life experiences and the processes they will encounter in their careers. This results in a lack of true understanding, excitement and motivation for the subject matter. Students from non-traditional backgrounds and with non-traditional learning styles are particularly affected. The goals of this project are to integrate exposure to chemical engineering processes into the curriculum, motivate students to become actively involved in their education and view the world from a chemical engineering perspective, satisfy the variety of learning styles of chemical engineering students, and assess the effectiveness of multimedia approaches in achieving the above goals. Interactive multimedia software will be developed. The software will be divided into three components: Technical Content Modules, Chemical Engineering Case Studies, and an Encyclopedia of Chemical Engineering Equipment. These components can be used together or individually in introductory chemical engineering classes as well as in freshman design courses. This software will integrate graphics, animations, full color still images and moving video clips into a multimedia package that will allow students to learn the basic concepts in chemical engineering through exploration of actual situations ranging in scope from simple bench-scale experiments and day to day experiences to chemical manufacturing plants. The effectiveness of these materials will be tested, and the software will be disseminated nationally through the use of CD-ROMs suitable for both Macintosh and Windows computers, and through the World Wide Web. In addition, it is likely that Prentice-Hall will distribute these materials. N.SF Form 1295 (11/93)

工程教育往往侧重于传播技术信息，而不是帮助学生将这些信息与他们自己的生活经历和他们在职业生涯中遇到的过程联系起来。这导致对主题缺乏真正的理解，兴奋和动机。来自非传统背景和具有非传统学习风格的学生尤其受到影响。本项目的目标是将化学工程过程融入课程，激励学生积极参与教育，从化学工程的角度看待世界，满足化学工程学生的各种学习风格，并评估多媒体方法在实现上述目标方面的有效性。 将开发交互式多媒体软件。该软件将分为三个部分：技术内容模块，化学工程案例研究和化学工程设备百科全书。这些组件可以一起使用或单独在介绍化学工程类，以及在新生设计课程。该软件将图形，动画，全彩色静止图像和移动视频剪辑集成到一个多媒体包中，使学生能够通过探索实际情况来学习化学工程的基本概念，范围从简单的实验室规模的实验和日常经验到化学制造工厂。将测试这些材料的有效性，并通过适用于麦金塔和视窗计算机的光盘和万维网在全国范围内传播这些软件。此外，Prentice-Hall很可能会分发这些材料。 N.SF表格1295（11/93）
