Abstract

In the challenging 21st century learning environment, there is an increasing need to ensure that engineers can solve new and difficult engineering challenges. So it is important to update engineering education to produce engineers who can solve problems and work in today's environment. The problem underlying this research is the existence of weaknesses in the learning of design project courses or integrated design engineering courses in chemical engineering and it is very important to provide support for student understanding and achievement of program outcomes. This study aims to shape, build and assess teaching and learning models for chemical engineering design projects by exploring teaching pedagogy. This research is a basic research that uses a design and development approach based on the ADDIE model. Therefore, it is highly hoped that this investigation can provide input on more effective learning models. The population of this study was final year students at the Faculty of Chemical Engineering & Technology, and 9 expert teaching staff from most universities throughout the country. In conclusion, the application of this model is expected to provide opportunities and guidance to interested parties including lecturers, teachers and students to improve their skills and abilities in solving complex engineering problems in design project courses in the future.

Abstract

This study highlights the challenges faced in integrating first-year chemical engineering courses, namely Introduction to Engineering, Industrial and Professional Seminar, and Introduction to Computer Programming. The main challenge lies in effective integrated assessment, especially in ensuring that students understand the interrelationships between the various disciplines and their applications in real-world contexts. The study aims to develop an effective integrated assessment model based on constructive alignment to support student learning in the three courses, with a focus on solving authentic problems related to sustainability. The courses are designed with an integrated assessment approach through project reports, exhibitions, reflection journals, and learning portfolios. Real-world problems relevant to sustainability are used as the main theme, and assessments are conducted both formatively and summatively to measure learning success. This integrated assessment has succeeded in improving students' skills in critical thinking, communication, and technical abilities. Positive feedback from students and expert panels indicates that this assessment model is effective in connecting the various disciplines and preparing students for real-world challenges.

Abstract

Diversifying energy through alternative sources, such as biofuels, is a practical and accessible option in Indonesia. This study aimed to optimize the yield of biofuel (green diesel) using Ni/marble waste as a catalyst. Deoxygenation offers a promising route for converting waste cooking oil (WCO) into valuable products. A Box–Behnken Design (BBD) was applied to assess the effects of key variables on the deoxygenation process using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The variables included reaction time (2–6 h), reaction temperature (360–380 °C), and catalyst weight (1–3% w/w), with conversion percentage as the response. The results showed that reaction time and catalyst weight significantly influenced WCO deoxygenation (p < 0.05). The optimum conditions for maximum conversion were a reaction temperature of 373.64 °C, a catalyst weight of 3.45% w/w, and a reaction time of 4.35 h. Under these conditions, hydrocarbon selectivity reached 92.26%. Paraffins were the dominant fraction, confirming that the Ni/marble catalyst efficiently promoted deoxygenation with high selectivity toward C15–C18 hydrocarbons. These findings align with the proposed reaction mechanism, which involves decarboxylation, decarbonylation, and hydrodeoxygenation pathways. An economic evaluation under optimal conditions estimated a profit of $1.0469 per batch, demonstrating that converting waste cooking oil into green diesel is both technically feasible and economically attractive. Overall, integrating waste-derived catalysts with optimized deoxygenation technology provides a sustainable and profitable solution.

Abstract

Fuel Oil Blended Stock (FOBS) is a residual byproduct from petroleum refineries that is often underutilized and may cause storage and environmental issues. Converting FOBS into hydrogen through catalytic pyrolysis offers a sustainable waste valorisation pathway; however, no studies have focused on Ni/CeO2 catalysts for hydrogen production from FOBS, which establishes the novelty of this work. This study aims to evaluate the performance of a Ni/CeO2 catalyst for hydrogen production from FOBS via catalytic pyrolysis. A 3% Ni/CeO2 catalyst was synthesized using the wet impregnation method and characterized using XRD, FESEM, BET, and FTIR. Catalytic pyrolysis experiments were conducted in a tubular furnace reactor at temperatures between 400-600 °C, nitrogen flow rates of 40-140 mL/min, and catalyst-to-feedstock ratios of 1:5, 1:10, and 1:15. The gaseous products were analyzed using GC-TCD/FID. The results showed that higher temperatures and catalyst-to-feedstock ratios improved FOBS conversion and hydrogen selectivity, with optimal performance achieved at 600 °C, 90 mL/min, and a catalyst-to-feedstock ratio of 1:15, yielding high conversion, gas yield, and hydrogen selectivity. In conclusion, the Ni/CeO2 catalyst shows strong potential for converting FOBS into hydrogen-rich gas, supporting waste valorisation and sustainable hydrogen production.
