Introducing Professional Skills During Unit Operations Laboratory

Abstract

She received her PhD degree from Department of Chemical Engineering, at Bogazici University, Turkey. Her current research focuses on supercritical fluid assisted processing of polymer nanocomposites and foams, and glass transition temperature phenomena in confined systems. Along with these studies, she also conducts surveys on engineering education.

A Novel Chemical Engineering Laboratory Model at the University of Kansas

“…This laboratory course sequence strengthens student understanding in areas of chemical engineering theory, [2] laboratory safety, [3,4] communication of results, [5] and team leadership and time management [6] while practicing fundamental skills to prepare students for careers in industry and academia. [7] Due to large enrollments and limited time, some UOL's only go in depth (requiring a report and presentation) over one or two experiments per semester. [8][9][10][11] The new UOL structure at KU offers six comprehensive experiments over two semesters that cover the fundamentals of chemical engineering.…”
