A Novel Chemical Engineering Laboratory Model at the University of Kansas
Finberg, Ethan Abraham; Griffin, David Michael; Shiflett, Mark Brandon
Chemical Engineering Education, v54 n4 p178-187 Fall 2020
A Unit Operations Laboratory (UOL) is fundamental to undergraduate chemical engineering education. This article discusses a new course structure for the University of Kansas UOL and details for three new experiments covering the fundamentals of vapor-liquid equilibrium, fluid mechanics, and kinetics. Students apply knowledge from these courses as well as learn about safety, statistical data analysis, ASPEN Plus™ modeling, oral communication, report writing, referencing and comparing results with literature, leadership, ethics, and (most importantly) time-management.
