| Description: | Abstract: "Different initiatives undertaken at the School of Chemical Engineering of Tarragona to involve faculty in the improvement of undergraduate education are described. The analysis of previous experiences on cooperative learning indicates that the setup of classrooms where professors can experience effective teaching methods with other faculty are key to attaining and sustaining interest in education. This has been accomplished with the introduction of yearly design projects shared by several subjects, with professors acting as consultants." <citation>Francesc Giralt, Joan Herrero, Magda Medir, Francesc X.

Outcomes Evaluation <Engagement>Professors become sponsors of cooperative learning and perform as consultants, and their curiosity is enhanced because they are faced with real and interesting problems. As a consequence we are involving professors to a higher degree than before, and students are learning what chemical engineering is all about from their first year of their undergraduate program.</Engagement> <Student Learning>Professors become sponsors of cooperative learning and perform as consultants, and their curiosity is enhanced because they are faced with real and interesting problems.
