Interactive Computer Games

The Interactive Computer Games (ICGs) listed below are contained on the Essentials of Chemical Reaction Engineering DVD. Game players can click on the Run from the DVD link to begin play each ICG title.  Note that there will be a pause while the game is loaded from the DVD.  Alternately, one can use the Install to PC link to install each game on the PC.  This installation will typically install an icon on the desktop.  Please take the default location for the installation files. Detailed instructions for installing and using the ICGs are available.  The ICGs can also be installed individually from DVD folder html\icm\cre.

As these interactive games are played, the player will be asked a number of questions related to the corresponding material in the textbook. The computer will keep track of all the correct answers and at the end of the game will display a coded performance number that reflects how well the player mastered the material in the text. Instructors will have a manual to decode the performance number.

Note:  The Interactive Computer Games may NOT work on approximately 10% of Windows machines.  We can't find a specific reason, so if it doesn't work, please try them on a different Windows computer.
