CREATING TEXTBOOK EXERCISES FOR CHEMICAL ENGINEERS: A DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH

Abstract

Developing effective textbook exercises is crucial for enhancing the learning experience of chemical engineering students. This paper presents a developmental approach to creating textbook exercises tailored to the needs of chemical engineering education. By integrating pedagogical principles, real-world applications, and progressive difficulty levels, this approach aims to engage students, promote critical thinking, and reinforce conceptual understanding. The paper discusses the iterative process of exercise design, including problem formulation, solution strategies, and feedback incorporation. The proposed developmental approach seeks to contribute to the continuous improvement of chemical engineering education by offering a structured framework for the creation of meaningful and impactful textbook exercises.
