Web-based ionic liquids learning media to measure the competence of the Polytechnic student

The rapid development of technology and information has influenced students' learning styles and has led to a shift in information seeking from paper books to e-books. The purpose of this study is to measure the competence of students on the ionic liquid material, including ionic liquid knowledge, attitude, and skills, as well as website knowledge. The research sample is Chemical Engineering students in a private polytechnic in Indonesia and taken through a purposive sampling technique. This website-based learning is tested on students through the experiential learning model. Data collection was carried out by filling out a Likert scale competency test at the beginning and the end of the study. The results revealed that website-based ionic liquid learning attracted the attention of students, but not all students can do it independently yet. The learning still has to be combined with lecturers' explanations as reinforcing concepts. The implications of this research are expected to be used as recommendations in enriching the Chemical Engineering education curriculum by adding website-based ionic liquid material.

Redefining Chemical Engineering Education in Romania Between Massification, Atomization, and Performance

Chemical engineering and higher education profile in Romania have a prestigious tradition. Declared a national priority, Romanian higher education has developed and has become a mass education. There was an extension and uncontrolled chemical engineering education, especially environmental engineering. In addition to traditional chemical engineering, education has appeared in places without a university tradition; new universities and faculties of study in this area and other universities and colleges have expanded the frontiers of research in education for green engineering. The study majorly focused to explore extent of chemical engineering career intention and to explore the relationship exist between engineering environment intentions with selected independent variables. The results show that demographic decline, decreased social inertia, and brain drain made the interest in chemical engineering and environmental study decline. In these circumstances, the present competition between providers of education in chemical engineering and environment is tough.
