Lab work is a basic pillar, especially in engineering and science. It promotes problem solving and discovery and it has proven to enhance student learning. Transversal competences such as autonomy or effective oral and written communication are also enhanced. E-learning is currently increasing and requires a redesign of practical work. Several virtual laboratories can be found to cover different areas. This, however, does not replace the face-to-face laboratories in the field of chemistry, where students need to perform hands-on experiments to acquire the required skills. An alternative is experimentation at home. Most existing references in this regard describe qualitative experiences. In this work we have designed a home practical work in which some fundamental concepts of chemical kinetics and catalysis are developed quantitatively. Students are introduced here to wastewater treatment using an advanced oxidation process; the Fenton reaction. From the results of a preactivity survey, students showed motivation and high expectations with the activity proposal. From a post-activity survey, we concluded that the perception of students towards the activity did not change after completing it. The learning objectives were met both for the students that participated in the take-home experiment and for those who did the experiment in the laboratory.
期刊介绍:
Education for Chemical Engineers was launched in 2006 with a remit to publisheducation research papers, resource reviews and teaching and learning notes. ECE is targeted at chemical engineering academics and educators, discussing the ongoingchanges and development in chemical engineering education. This international title publishes papers from around the world, creating a global network of chemical engineering academics. Papers demonstrating how educational research results can be applied to chemical engineering education are particularly welcome, as are the accounts of research work that brings new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating direction for future research relevant to chemical engineering education. Core topic areas: -Assessment- Accreditation- Curriculum development and transformation- Design- Diversity- Distance education-- E-learning Entrepreneurship programs- Industry-academic linkages- Benchmarking- Lifelong learning- Multidisciplinary programs- Outreach from kindergarten to high school programs- Student recruitment and retention and transition programs- New technology- Problem-based learning- Social responsibility and professionalism- Teamwork- Web-based learning
