About Joshua A. Enszer
Joshua Enszer is an Associate Professor in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, having joined the department in 2015. He is an active member of the Chemical Engineering Division of the American Society for Engineering Education, and in 2020 completed his term as Past Chair of the division. His affiliations with the American Institute of Chemical Engineers include serving as faculty advisor for UD’s student chapter, as an academic consultant for AIChE’s Center for Chemical Process Safety, and as an executive board member for AIChE’s Delaware Valley Section. His research is in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, and he has published on topics including modernizing the process control curriculum, implementation of gamification in course design, writing across the curriculum, and chemical process safety education. His most recent work is in developing rubrics to increase reliability when used by multiple raters, and in the development and improvement of alternative assessment methods to demonstrate student attainment of course learning outcomes.
