Chemical Engineering Laboratory Projects in Student Teams in Real Life and Transformed Online: Viscose Fiber Spinning and Characterization

Chemical engineering education comprises a complexity of technical skills that include learning processes are currently relevant in industry. Despite being rather old industrial process, the manufacturing viscose fibers still accounts for major fraction all human-made cellulosic worldwide. Here we describe laboratory setup to introduce chemistry and students into principles cellulose fiber spinning according process. The is kept simplistic allows experiments be performed without professional equipment. However, steps analogously setting process chemical involves work on projects teams. Hence, have incorporated experiment context working teams projects. We will also present our experience transferring real-life online, as this required at times online preferred over teaching.
