Teaching Technique

In this summary, a teaching technique to learn relevant food engineering and chemical engineering concepts has been presented. This method has been tested experimentally for the last two years in a class which belongs to the Food Science and Technology Bachelor’s Degree in the Complutense University of Madrid in Spain, and it is based on the induction of complex concepts through comprehensive everyday examples. More than 90% of students have adequately been able to extrapolate the knowledge acquired to other technical fields. The application of this method has resulted in an increased rate of passing exams and classes, as well as a higher attendance percentage. And most importantly, the students are having fun while learning. Furthermore, this great experience has encouraged some students to collaborate in the development of this teaching approach.

Chemical Engineering Education

Laboratory courses help students understand the application of theoretical principles and develop their synthesis abilities and critical thinking. Although the above target is well understood in our profession and has long been integrated to the Chemical Engineering curriculum, there are various ways to reach these objectives and it is still a matter of intense discussion. This work presents a laboratory course at the Department of Chemical & Biotechnological Engineering of the Université de Sherbrooke. This course basically seeks to provide the students with elements allowing them to link fundamental knowledge in thermodynamics, transport phenomena and physical chemistry/kinetics to experimental results. However, for engineers, this must be positioned within a context which is the closest possible to their everyday professional reality which requires crosscurricular competencies and attributes. The latter includes team work, project management, and of course fast and efficient analytical, synthesis and interpretation skills. The laboratory course presented here is given in the middle of the program leading to the engineering bachelor’s degree. All experimental design, data collection, laboratory manipulations and analyses are performed by teams of students. There are 11 labs and every team goes through all of them. To develop their project management skills, our Department has adopted the formula of the “Master Team”. The class is divided in a number of teams equal to the number of experiments. Each team is named responsible (Master team) of one of the experiments for the entire semester. In this role, it supervises the reporting of all other teams and proceeds to the final (global) report and its oral presentation. The success of this organization depends on the competence of the teaching team as well as the >efficient internal management of each Master team. Thus, the teams develop skills which lead them to the final and most difficult part of their Chemical Engineering education, the Capstone Design course.

The article presents the conceptual design methodology employing Synectics to build space design representation of a new system. This space is a set of parametric attributes. All of the attributes describe parametric value limits to define the technical specifications of an innovative system. Synectics is one of the heuristic methods applied in the process of basic and advanced knowledge acquisition to develop innovative concepts. In the paper conceptual design with the use of selected analogies is presented.
