A novel approach to the Chemical Engineering curriculum sequence of electives here at West
Point enabled our students to experience a much more realistic design process, which more closely
replicated a real world scenario. Students conduct the synthesis in the organic chemistry lab, then conduct
computer modeling of the reaction with ChemCad and Mathematica, analyze chemical separation
processes, and design a reactor system. This interdisciplinary learning approach demonstrated to students
that all of their courses are meant to compliment each other, their learning, and experiences.
