Abstract:
In today’s Chemical Engineering education, fostering deep understanding
while maintaining student engagement is a significant challenge, especially
in technical courses like Process Simulation, which often rely heavily on
software-based instruction. While tools such as Aspen HYSYS are essential,
prolonged screen time can lead to passive learning and limited interaction.
To address this, active learning strategies such as the Gallery Walk offer an
innovative and student-centered alternative. Gallery Walk transforms the
learning environment into an interactive space where students visually
communicate their simulation outcomes, engage in peer critique, and
collaboratively refine their understanding. This article introduces the use of
Gallery Walk in a Process Simulation course at Universiti Malaysia Sabah
(UMS), highlighting its effectiveness in enhancing technical learning,
communication, and collaborative problem-solving skills.
