Students can examine and select pertinent data, and solve material and energy balance problems. Students can give examples of important applications of material balances in chemical engineering processes. Students can evaluate their own solutions and those of others to find and correct errors. Students can apply critical thinking while working in a structured team environment to solve problems, including open-ended problems. Students can assess their team problem-solving processes to improve these processes.
Students can describe in written and oral form any of the concepts implied in the above objectives.
Cooperative Learning Teams will be formed, with two or three students per group. These groups will be used in two ways. Second, students are encouraged to work on homework assignments in groups.
