This project develops and promotes the use of a cyber-enabled infrastructure, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Concept Warehouse, that could be used throughout the core chemical engineering curriculum (Material and Energy Balances, Thermodynamics, Transport Phenomena, Kinetics and Reactor Design, and Materials Science). The goal is to create a community of learning focused on concept-based instruction, within the discipline of chemical engineering. Conceptual questions, both as Concept Inventories and Concept Tests, will be available through an interactive website maintained through the Education Division of the AIChE, the discipline's major professional society. It uses a flexible, query-driven information storage system so that conceptual learning can be deployed by programs and instructors as it best fits into their curriculum and culture. The overall objective is to lower the barrier for using concept-based instruction and assessment so that more chemical engineering faculty incorporate concept-based learning into their classes. Workshops will be offered to faculty and department administrators to explain the value and methods of concept-based instruction.

该项目开发和推广了一个基于网络的基础设施--美国化学工程师学会(AIChE)概念仓库，该仓库可用于整个化学工程核心课程(材料和能量平衡、热力学、传输现象、动力学和反应堆设计以及材料科学)。其目标是在化学工程学科范围内创建一个以概念教学为重点的学习社区。概念性问题，包括概念性清单和概念性测试，将通过该学科的主要专业协会AIChE教育司维护的互动网站提供。它使用灵活的、查询驱动的信息存储系统，以便方案和教师可以在最适合其课程和文化的情况下部署概念性学习。总体目标是降低使用基于概念的教学和评估的门槛，以便更多的化学工程教师将基于概念的学习纳入他们的课堂。将为教职员工和系管理人员提供工作坊，解释以概念为基础的教学的价值和方法。
