Abstract
An approach to utilize chemical concepts to introduce high school students to the principles of chemical engineering through their teachers, was developed. A relevant chemical process, like the manufacture of Aspirin, was selected. By focusing on the examples of unit operations in the Aspirin manufacturing process, the teachers realized the relevant scientific concepts that they teach to their students, and how these concepts are used in the design of chemical engineering unit operations. The developed approach suggested methods for integrating the basic concepts and their application into their classroom instruction.
