The old way of optimizing the large-scale chemical reactions of a chemical production plant involved paper, pencil, calculators and plenty of data tables. Andrew White, assistant professor of chemical engineering, worked with education expert April Luehmann from the Warner School of Education to develop a new, less painful system.

The result is an augmented reality (AR) light table, constructed by graduate students Rainier Barrett and Heta Ghandhi. Students place 3D-printed "reactors" on the light table, connect them via sticks or a drawn line to represent pipelines, set the temperature, and evaluate the yield of products.

Students using the AR system who have been tested against a standard pedagogic control show more interest, perform more tests, and score higher on assessments.
