Engineering Chemical - (53)Chemical engineering education (ChE) requires a paradigm shift to address the needs of a modern industry that is utilizing biotechnological approaches to create new products. For example, biocatalysis and bioprocessing are increasingly finding application in the chemical industry, requiring a familiarity with such concepts of entry-level chemical engineers. Simply adding biology courses to the portfolio of ChE undergraduate instruction is a compartmentalized approach that does not address this deficiency because it does not present content within an engineering context. Integrating appropriate educational materials throughout the ChE core curriculum would help students acquire and reinforce the skills necessary to apply engineering principles to biological, biochemical, or other bio-based (bioX) processes. Such a transformation is currently hindered by the lack of texts and other educational materials for integrating bioX into the curriculum. The goal of this project is to create, collect, disseminate, and evaluate such materials for the entire ChE curriculum. Specifically, the project creates new learning materials and teaching strategies, develops faculty expertise, implements educational innovations and assesses student achievement. The results of this project will serve as a paradigm for other modern, interdisciplinary applications to be integrated into a variety of engineering fields.

工程化学——（53）化学工程教育（ChE）需要一种范式转变，以满足利用生物技术方法创造新产品的现代工业的需求。例如，生物催化和生物处理越来越多地在化学工业中得到应用，要求入门级化学工程师熟悉这些概念。简单地将生物学课程添加到ChE本科教学组合中是一种分隔的方法，无法解决这一缺陷，因为它没有在工程背景下呈现内容。在整个ChE核心课程中整合适当的教育材料将帮助学生获得并加强将工程原理应用于生物，生化或其他生物基础（bioX）过程所需的技能。这种转变目前由于缺乏将生物技术纳入课程的教材和其他教育材料而受到阻碍。该项目的目标是为整个ChE课程创建、收集、传播和评估这些材料。具体而言，该项目创造新的学习材料和教学策略，发展教师专业知识，实施教育创新并评估学生成绩。这个项目的结果将作为一个范例，为其他现代的、跨学科的应用集成到各种工程领域。
