Project-Based Learning in Engineering Cornerstone and Core Courses

October 10, 2012

Project-Based Learning in Engineering Cornerstone and Core Courses Dr. Stephanie Farrell Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering, Rowan University ABSTRACT Project-based learning is a learner-centered, constructivist approach to teaching which offers several advantages over traditional classroom methods. Problem-based learning (PBL) has been shown to result in better content knowledge, problem solving ability, metacognitive skills and attitude toward learning. In addition, PBL results in enhanced communication and teamwork skills, understanding of professional practice, and ability to apply learning to solve problems. PBL is currently the most popular pedagogy for teaching design and has also been widely used for first-year cornerstone courses. Descriptions of PBL in [Read more...]

Environmentally Benign Energy Technology Development

September 19, 2012

Wednesday, September 19, 2012 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM Babbio 320 Dr. Marco J. Castaldi, Associate Professor, Chemical Engineering City College (CCNY) of The City University of New York (CUNY) ABSTRACT The confluence of natural and human driven events have shown how acutely sensitive the world, and in particular the United States, is to energy supply and security. Furthermore,if we consider where the world stands today in terms of energy use and where it will be in 100 years, there is a significant challenge to meet the expected demand in a more CO2-neutral way. Therefore, a primary objective for new energy technology developmentmust be to produce [Read more...]
