Authors

  • Charles M. Sheppard Louisiana Tech University

Abstract

This work involves the integration of engineering design and practice throughout a chemical engineering curriculum.  The students work on a case study from their sophomore through senior years. In this way, the students see how much of the important material in the curriculum interacts.  This research also demonstrates how to handle a program of this type with a large number of co-op students.
