Internet-based Unit Operations Laboratories

我们开发了基于网络的化学工程单元操作实验。为了帮助完成这项工作，我们正在从其他研究者开始的现有工作中改编CCLI基于网络的实验中的各种元素。其中包括CCLI 0088788，涉及Krehbiel博士及其团队在环境科学方面的多学科教学。我们也在改编Asumadu博士新颖的远程布线和测量实验室（RwmLab） CCLI 0088361的工作。这个项目展示了学生如何通过互联网连接物理电气和电子电路并进行实际测量。最后，我们还使用了卡曼加博士的一些项目，CCLI 9950697，学生们实现了一个适合多平台基于计算机的环境监测和控制的硬件/软件环境。我们开发了两个基于互联网的化学工程单元操作实验。首先是非等温固定床吸附遥控实验和透析单元操作实验。基于互联网的实验室要想取得成功，它们必须是有效的学习体验。我们的计划是研究这些在线实验相对于实际经验的有效性。在我们和其他研究人员工作的基础上，我们希望鼓励其他教师使用互联网来传递实验室经验。我们的模式，如果被效仿，将允许教师在他们的专业领域开发高质量的实验，并与工程界分享。除了这一显著的教学效益外，使用基于互联网的实验室提供了降低实验室成本的潜力，同时增加了可供学生使用的实验室数量。托莱多大学化学与环境工程系和辛辛那提大学化学工程系致力于维持这些实验以及现有的单元操作实验。最后，在成功完成我们的项目后，我们将与俄亥俄州的所有化学工程部门共同努力开发基于互联网的实验室。

Engineering - Chemical (53)We have developed web-based Unit Operations experiments in Chemical Engineering. To help in this effort we are adapting various elements from CCLI web based experiments from existing work started by other investigators. These include CCLI 0088788 which involved multidisciplinary instruction in environmental science done by Dr. Krehbiel and his team. We are also adapting the work of Dr. Asumadu's novel Remote Wiring and Measurement Laboratory (RwmLab) CCLI 0088361. This project demonstrates how students can wire up physical electrical and electronics circuits and perform real measurements through internet access. Finally we are also using some of Dr. Kamangar's project, CCLI 9950697, where students implement a suitable hardware/ software environment for multi-platform computer-based monitor and control of the environment. We have developed two Internet-based Chemical Engineering Unit Operations experiments. The first is a non-isothermal fixed-bed adsorption remote controlled experiment as well as a dialysis unit operations experiment. For Internet-based laboratories to be successful, they must be effective learning experiences. Our plan has been to study the effectiveness of these on-line experiments relative to a hands-on experience. Building on our work and that of other researchers we hope to encourage other faculty to use of the Internet to deliver laboratory experiences. Our model, if emulated, would allow faculty to develop high quality experiments in their area of expertise and share them with the engineering community. In addition to this significant pedagogical benefit, the use of Internet-based laboratories offers the potential to reduce laboratory costs while simultaneously increasing the number of laboratories available to students. The University of Toledo Chemical and Environmental Engineering Department and The University of Cincinnati Chemical Engineering Department are committed to maintaining the experiments along with existing Unit Operations experiments. Finally, upon successful completion of our project, we will pursue a larger effort to develop Internet-based laboratories with all of the Chemical Engineering Departments in the State of Ohio.
