| Description: | Abstract: "To develop the skills of creativity, rational choice, focus, analysis, etc., in students, and to make them appreciate the course material effectively, for the past four years a Choose/Focus/Analyze (CFA) exercise has been assigned to students taking chemical engineering undergraduate courses such as Material and Energy Balances and Engineering Thermodynamics. The need for the CFA exercise, the methodology, and the outcomes are discussed, along with summaries of selected student exercises. A similar exercise for courses with limited depth is also briefly discussed." <citation>G.K.
