Equipamiento para el Aprendizaje de los Fundamentos de Transferencia de Cantidad de Movimiento, de Energía y de Materia

Abstract

This paper presents an experience about groupal practical works with active participation of students in chemical engineering courses. The activities being described aim to the design, construction and testing of didactic equipment to measure transport properties such as momentum, energy and mass transfer coefficients. This practical work, going beyond the learning of certain concepts, intends that students acquire capacities, skills and attitudes not considered in traditional teaching methods. The applied methodology, which has generated great interest among students, favors the training in the field of interpersonal relationships, offers opportunities for oral and written communication and contributes to better students understanding. However. the method requires more dedication and effort by instructors.
