CCLI: Educational Materials to Enhance Chemical Engineering Curricula with Applications in Biological Engineering

工程-化学(53)该项目是圣何塞州立大学、阿肯色大学和弗吉尼亚大学的合作伙伴关系，正在开发一个基于网络的知识库，最终将保存大约100个已解决的问题，以促进将具有大量生物学内容的问题纳入本科化学工程材料和能量平衡课程。这些问题是由几所不同大学的教职员工造成的。该网站包括有效的问题征集机制，编委会和教师用户对问题的审查，以及对网站内容和可用性的评估。教职员工可以通过在网站上注册和有密码保护的安全服务器来解决这些问题。包括背景信息页面，作为教师和学生的补充工具。六所大学正在评估如何将生物学问题纳入其中，以提高学生在生物学背景下解决物质和能量平衡问题的能力。目前正在开发和计划为未经正规生物技术培训的化学工程教员使用这种材料的讲习班。所有问题都是通过知识库使用统计数据、通过对学生学习的评估、通过教师和行业调查以及通过编辑委员会和咨询委员会的审查来评估的。这些问题和相关材料正在通过该项目的网站进行传播，该网站通过为化学工程系服务的其他受欢迎的网站上的链接、有针对性的邮件、在化学和生物工程会议和工程教育会议上的陈述、通过期刊出版物以及通过NSDL进行宣传。更广泛的影响包括广泛传播教学材料，特别关注其中一个伙伴机构中代表性不足的群体，以及在问题集上的合作所产生的社区建设。

Engineering - Chemical (53)The project, a partnership involving San Jose State University, University of Arkansas, and University of Virginia, is developing a web-based repository that will ultimately hold approximately 100 solved problems to facilitate the incorporation of problems with substantial biology content into the undergraduate chemical engineering material and energy balance course. The problems are being generated by faculty from several different universities. The website includes effective mechanisms for solicitation of problems, review of problems by an editorial board and faculty users, and evaluation of website content and usability. Solutions to the problems are available to faculty through registration on the website and a password-protected secure server. Background information pages are included as a supplemental tool for both faculty and students. Six universities are evaluating how inclusion of biology problems improves students' ability to solve material and energy balance problems in a biological context. A workshop on the use of the material for chemical engineering faculty without formal training in biotechnology is being developed and planned. All problems are being evaluated through repository use statistics, through assessment of student learning, through faculty and industry surveys, and through editorial board and advisory board reviews. The problems and associated materials are being disseminated through the project's website, which is being promoted through links on other popular sites serving chemical engineering faculty, through targeted mailings, through presentations at chemical and biological engineering conferences and at engineering education conferences, through journal publications, and through the NSDL. Broader impacts include the wide dissemination of the instructional material, a special focus on underrepresented groups at one of the partner institutions, and the community building resulting from the collaboration on the problem set.
