The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The benefits of Enquiry based learning in combination with peer assisted instruction and supported by a range of appropriate software tools is demonstrated in this contribution. Fundamental concepts, such as mass and energy balances and process flow sheet diagrams are essential for professional chemical engineer formation and the methodology described is shown to improve the performance of students in assessment as well as increase their satisfaction. Responses to anonymous student questionnaires and feedback through student-staff committee are supplemented by a quantitative comparison of examination marks to demonstrate the benefits of this approach.
