Fundamental Research in Education


Description:
This session will feature rigorous education research projects involving chemical engineers or chemical engineering classes. All abstract submissions should be sufficiently detailed for a panel of reviewers to evaluate the quality and depth of work to be presented. In order to provide an extended presentation time for each speaker, the number of papers accepted to this session will be limited. Papers not accepted to this session will be forwarded to the Free Forum on Education or another suitable session. Those presenters whose proposals are accepted for presentation to this session will be expected to submit a paper to the conference proceedings, and may also submit this paper for consideration for publication in Chemical Engineering Education. This session is co-sponsored by the American Society for Engineering Education Chemical Engineering Division.
