Teaching Support: Teaching Repositories

The importance of digital repositories for teaching is increasingly being recognised:

  • CACHE (Computer Aids for Chemical Engineering) is a not-for-profit organisation whose purpose is to promote cooperation among universities, industry and government in the development and distribution of computer-related and/or technology-based educational aids for the chemical engineering profession.
  • National Effective Teaching Institute (NETI)
    Dr Richard Felder is the Hoechst Celanese Professor Emeritus of Chemical Engineering at North Carolina State University.  He has contributed over 200 publications to the fields of science and engineering education and chemical process engineering, and writes "Random Thoughts," a column on educational methods and issues for the quarterly journal Chemical Engineering Education . With his wife and colleague, Dr Rebecca Brent, he codirects the National Effective Teaching Institute (NETI) and regularly offers teaching effectiveness workshops on campuses and at conferences around the world.
  • GreenEngineering
    provides green engineering tutorial problems, course modules etc. for all core chemical engineering courses. It is password protected to prevent students accessing worked solutions to problems. However, academics can readily obtain a password upon request. The problems and solutions included in the Separations Processes module are specifically written to accompany the book "Green Engineering: Environmentally Conscious Design of Chemical Processes" by David T Allen and David R Shonnard.
  • NEEDS (The National Engineering Education Delivery System) a digital library for engineering education
  • Virginia Tech applets for engineering education
  • Liverpool's matter materials science resources
  • Rose-Hulman engineering case studies
  • OpenDOAR: The Directory of Open Access Repositories
  • IEC: Internet Engineering Curriculum Repository
