Engineering - Chemical (53)This project adapts the McMaster University Program in problem-based learning (PBL) combined with progress being made in interactive computer-aided instruction at the University of Michigan (which utilizes virtual reality). This implementation is aimed at improving the ability of Lamar University Beaumont's Chemical Engineering Department to give its students a better understanding of the basics of chemical engineering and at the same time develop their skills in using computer packages properly. The primary objective of the project is to use computer-aided modeling and simulation packages with proven learning principles and realistic problem practices to provide accelerated exposure to problem-based learning. The project impacts nine courses in the chemical engineering curriculum through the use of "hands-on" modeling and simulation of chemical molecules, processes, and processing equipment. The ABET Engineering Criteria 2000 framework is used to evaluate the project's student learning outcomes. This project also contributes to the university's efforts to reach high school teachers and students through science and engineering demonstrations incorporating PBL.

工程-化学（53）该项目采用麦克马斯特大学基于问题的学习（PBL）计划，结合密歇根大学（利用虚拟现实）在交互式计算机辅助教学方面取得的进展。 该实施旨在提高拉马尔大学博蒙化学工程系的能力，使学生更好地了解化学工程的基础知识，同时培养他们正确使用计算机软件包的技能。 该项目的主要目标是使用计算机辅助建模和模拟软件包，其中包含经过验证的学习原则和现实问题实践，以加速基于问题的学习。 该项目通过使用化学分子、工艺和加工设备的“动手”建模和模拟，影响化学工程课程中的九门课程。ABET工程标准2000框架被用来评估该项目的学生学习成果。 该项目还有助于大学努力通过结合PBL的科学和工程示范来接触高中教师和学生。
