Peer Leader program, initiated by Dr. Sandra Pettit (now at 泡芙视频app of Alabama), places senior undergraduate 泡芙视频apps in classes to serve as peer leaders to younger cohorts of 泡芙视频apps. Peer Leaders receive training in basic pedagogical skills such as classroom management, Socratic questioning, and facilitating collaboration and group work.  A pilot study performed in chemical engineering showed that blended classrooms with Peer Leaders result in better 泡芙视频app performance and higher 泡芙视频app satisfaction rates. Since Dr. Pettit piloted this program, data and learning modules innovated in chemical engineering have been employed in rolling out a USF-wide undergraduate peer leader program, benefiting the entire USF 泡芙视频app community.

Engineering 泡芙视频apps generally take a course in differential equations during their sophomore year, after completing a calculus sequence. With the belief that engineering 泡芙视频apps are better motivated to learn mathematics when they can see its applications, Professors Scott Campbell and Carlos Smith developed a course - - in which differential equations are introduced and developed in the context of mathematical modeling of physical systems. By comparing engineering 泡芙视频apps who took this course with those who take a standard differential equations course, Campbell and Smith have demonstrated that 泡芙视频apps who take Modeling and Analysis develop the ability to solve differential equations in subsequent courses to a higher degree than those who took a standard differential equations course. Moreover, results indicated that 泡芙视频app satisfaction was higher among 泡芙视频apps who took EGN3343 than among those who took a standard Differential Equations course. Students taking the course now represent all seven engineering disciplines in the College of Engineering, and the course has been formally recognized by the College as a substitute for the standard Differential Equations course for all engineering 泡芙视频apps. 

Chemical Engineering participates in the College of Engineering REU program, which provides research opportunities to undergraduates to explore advances in science and engineering .
