The best part about being an Assistant Professor, for me, is meeting and interacting with tons of amazing young minds. Their creativity, enthusiasm, and dynamism fills me up with nothing but positivity. While I interact with many of them each semester, I rarely get to know things about them that are wayyyy fun to remember than their grades, homeworks, and office hour visits. This semester for my CH E 310: Computational Methods in Chemical Engineering class, I asked them to submit one thing about them that they would love to to share. It was the best 30 mins of my day today reading all that they wrote, so I made a word cloud with some thing each one of them wrote!! We have pet parents, musicians, cooks, coders, gamers, athletes, researchers, gnome-lovers, someone who turned 20 last day, ... from all across the globe!! These are an amazing bunch - and I can't wait to see all of them graduate with flying colors and do great things in life.

#snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking Effective teaching in a variety of subjects, particularly in science, engineering, and other practical fields, depends on the use of practical lab sessions. Practical Experience: Lab classes give students practical experience that enables them to apply theoretical concepts learnt in lectures. This hands-on activity improves comprehension and memory of the material. Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving: Students develop critical thinking abilities when they examine data, interpret findings, and work through issues in real time when conducting experiments and troubleshooting in labs. Development of Skills: Students gain vital skills in practical labs, including data analysis, safety procedures in the lab, experimental techniques, and technical equipment and device competency. Application of Theory: Lab sessions give students a chance to observe how theoretical ideas are put into practice. This contributes to closing the gap between theory and practice, increasing the significance and relevance of learning. Collaboration and Teamwork: A lot of lab exercises are done in groups, which encourages collaboration and teamwork. Students get knowledge on how to collaborate, exchange ideas, and effectively communicate in order to accomplish shared goals.

CGHE webinar series: Exploring the outcomes of educating scientists and engineers Tuesday, 12 Mar 2024 - Thursday, 21 Mar 2024 14:00-15:00 (UK time) Zoom webinars, registration required https://lnkd.in/e4E_i2GS This CGHE webinar series is based on a CGHE seven-year longitudinal research study that tracked the same participants through their undergraduate degrees in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering at two English, two South African and two American universities (the Knowledge, Curriculum and Student Agency project) to their first few years after graduation (the Graduate Experiences of Employability and Knowledge project). The webinar series will explore the educational intentions of the degree programmes that the participants studied, the ways in which the participants reflected on the knowledge they gained at university after they had graduated, and how, as graduates, they saw their role in society as graduates. The final seminar will reflect on the methodological and substantive insights that were generated by this in-depth study of the educational outcomes of studying two STEM disciplines.

Teaching Standard Solutions as a Gateway to Science Experiments Teaching students how to prepare a standard solution is a crucial skill that unlocks a range of scientific experiments. A standard solution, with its precisely known concentration, is fundamental for conducting accurate experiments like titrations, chemical analyses, and quantitative research. By mastering this technique, students not only understand solution chemistry better but also gain essential laboratory skills applicable across various scientific fields. This knowledge sets the stage for more advanced experiments and boosts their confidence in conducting precise scientific research. Student: "Mr. Carrington, why is preparing a standard solution so important for our experiments?" George Carrington: "Great question! Preparing a standard solution is essential because it allows us to work with a solution of known concentration. This precision is crucial when we're conducting experiments that require exact measurements. For example, in a titration, we need to know the exact concentration of our solution to accurately determine the amount of another substance." Student: "So, how do we actually prepare a standard solution?" George Carrington: "Let’s walk through the process. First, we need to start with a high-purity chemical, often called a primary standard. We weigh it very precisely using an analytical balance. Then, we dissolve this substance in a specific amount of solvent, usually distilled water, to achieve the desired concentration. Finally, we mix the solution thoroughly to ensure it's uniform." Student: "What if we don't get it right? Can it affect our experiment?" George Carrington: "Absolutely. If our solution isn’t prepared correctly, it can lead to inaccurate results in our experiments. That’s why precision is so important. By learning how to prepare standard solutions accurately, you’re laying the groundwork for success in many other experiments. It helps ensure that your results are reliable and reproducible." Student: "Got it! So, this skill is really important for all the different experiments we’ll be doing." George Carrington: "Exactly! Mastering this process will give you a solid foundation for a wide range of scientific experiments and help you build confidence in your lab work." #ScienceEducation #LabSkills #StandardSolution #ChemistryClass #STEMLearning #ScientificMethod #EducationalExperiments #StudentEngagement #PrecisionInScience #ChemistryEducation

As the semester comes to a close, we are excited to share our last faculty spotlight of the semester, Dr. Ryan Lively! Check out his interview below: Q: Why did you pursue chemical engineering when you were in college? A: I picked chemical engineering when I was a senior in high school. I did not really know what it was, but it seemed like it was an interesting combination of chemistry, math, and physics, which were all topics I enjoyed in high school. Once I encountered the ChBE material, I really fell in love with it, as our discipline has the potential to really have a global impact on things like CO2, water, energy, etc. Q: What is your favorite chemical engineering class to teach? A: 2100 and Thermo 2 (RIP). Q: What is your top piece of advice for students? A: My suggestion is to treat your coursework like a "day job", if possible in your specific situation - if you work on your course work, projects, etc. from 9a-5p M-F you will still have time for sleep, social life, etc. In other words, it is possible to pick all 3 on the ChBE triangle of "good grades, sleep, social life"! Q: What kind of research do you do? A: We work on making separation processes more efficient, and on developing new processes that are important for a sustainable future: CO2 capture, water purification, sustainable aviation fuels, etc. Q: What is a hobby you like to engage in during your free time? A: If I get free time I enjoy playing video games - you can currently find me on Rocket League and Helldivers 2! #georgiatech #aiche #facultyspotlight #chemicalengineering
