As more chemical engineering students enter careers beyond the field, students need more guidance in applying their problem solving skills to a challenges beyond the plant or refinery. Since Fall 2019, we have implemented case-based learning across our Material and Energy Balances course to help students practice chemical engineering thinking as a transferable and useful skill beyond typical process calculation examples. We share our approach and examples so other instructors may try teaching with cases.
