Use of Virtual Session and Recorded Video to Improve Hands-on Skills in CHE Unit Operation Lab

Chemical Engineering Unit Operation Laboratory focuses on the application of mathematics, science and engineering fundamentals through laboratorial activities. This course is a core course in chemical engineering department and has been offered at second year of undergraduate study. It also involves activities such as hands-on skills, data collection, data manipulate, literature review, engineering principles and analyzing complex chemical engineering problem in order derive a conclusion based on science and engineering. Hands-on laboratory science experiences are critical to the learning process across all areas of study. The students were exposed to virtual learning by taking live session with interactor and using recorded video of the experimental lab to let the students explored and have some rough idea about the experiment. On completion of this course, student should be able to investigate simple or complex chemical engineering problems using research based on knowledge and research methodologies which match several levels of learning objective based on Bloom and SOLO taxonomy.
